Road Trip Tomorrow

I’m off to my home away from home tomorrow, and it’s going to be fun!

A big group of us are heading up to K.C. to see a play at Crown Center. I’m taking the kiddos and my Mom too. It is going to be fun getting to spend one more day in the city.

I can’t wait to get there! I love that city too stinking much.

This is why I type

So today I had to give a photography demonstration at MOPS, and let’s just say that I turned bright pink and spoke way too fast… I ended up sharing 44 photos, and giving a few photography tips too. I was supposed to speak for about 20 minutes, but I took care of that and got it all done in 5.

Oh well, I’m better at typing than public speaking.

Well I won’t post all of the 44, but I’ll put up a few that I showed today.

It was fun, but I’m all done with public speaking for a long time.

Thanksgiving Thoughts…

I’ve got the basic menu planned out, but I seem to be missing something… Maybe you can help me out with my Thanksgiving menu, and share some dishes that you are going to be serving on your table too.

So far it looks like I’ll be making:

  • Turkey (of course, I picked up one today)
  • Green Bean Casserole (it isn’t Thanksgiving without this dish)
  • Stuffing (from a box, or from scratch… haven’t decided)
  • Rolls (from scratch, maybe clover shaped)
  • Mashed Potatoes (after watching tonight’s Throwdown with Bobby Flay they are a must have)
  • Chicken and Noodles ( a KS tradition, I make them from scratch, and I perfected a mini batch at lunch today)

And then there must be a few desserts:

  • Pumpkin Pie with Fresh Whipped Topping (all from scratch, oh yeah!)
  • Chocolate Bundt Cake or Chocolate Cream Pie (kids like cake, hubby likes pie, maybe I’ll make both)
  • Cranberry White Chocolate Almond Cookies (you know I love to make some cookies)

We need snacks too…

  • Veggie Tray
  • Chex Mix (I like to omit the Wheat and add in Crispix, so tasty)

So what do you have planned for your Turkey Day menu? Any family favorite classics that are a must have on your table?

If the weather isn’t too chilly, we love to take evening walks.

I love the night sky, just before the Sun has fully set.

Pretty sights all around the neighborhood,
