Update
On Monday, my root canal from nearly two and a half years ago got redone, part one. They did about 80% of the work, and I'm on antibiotics through next Wednesday to killkillKILL the bacterial infection inside the tooth that was the problem. Pain is 90-95% gone at this point, thank god. On the 5th, I get to go back for part two, and then I get to go back to my dentist to get a new crown, which will be two visits. Ah, how fun the holidays are!
On a lighter note, my inlaws arrived Monday evening... and my father-in-law had to have his own root canal on Thursday! Dental synchronicity? In any case, the Squiddle is being soundly adored and lavished with attention. Poor thing - his life is so difficult, y'know? :)
I need to make my shopping list for Saturday Farmer's Market for everything I'll need for my part of Thanksgiving. Due to Squiddle, I'm out of the family rotation for hosting either Thanksgiving (my mother) or Christmas (my aunt) this year. But for Thanksgiving, I make the smooth cranberries, the chunky cranberries, the succotash, the cornbread, and, if I can manage it, an apple pie. Yes, I suppose I could just buy cans of cranberries (we used to), but I've been making my own for several years now, and the chunky recipe especially tastes vastly superior to the tins from Ocean Spray.
Plus, with inlaws here to cuddle and play with the baby, I'm pretty sure I can get the cooking time in. And anything I can do to help my mother with the cooking for eleven, possibly thirteen, people is good.
