Tomorrow starts the long Thanksgiving weekend where we Americans will stuff ourselves almost more than the Turkeys most of us will serve.
But today is prep day. I’ll be making the cherry cheesecake, prepping the salad, and double checking the ingredients for the homemade rolls and sauerkraut and spareribs for tomorrow’s dinner.
One thing I won’t be doing is going to the stores and shopping. This is family and friends time, where phones and TVs will be off and conversations will flow as we catch up. And I get to watch my oldest host her first holiday in her new house.
So to all those who celebrate, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
And for those who don’t, you’re halfway to the weekend.
In the meantime, I can’t forget the cranberry sauce.
