The Day Before Thanksgiving.

OMG. Never EVER will I go shopping the day before thanksgiving! The commissary had no regular flour, no sugar, no turkey gravy, and the most important thing on my list, Martha White Cornbread mix. Had to go with the off brand. I got home, realized I forgot eggs. So Tyler is at the store now getting some. He better find them too. Applesauce is a great egg substitute for cakes but NOT cornbread. Been there, done that. GROSS!!!! It looked like extra firm pudding.

We moved into our new house today. It's a little bigger than our old one. I FINALLY have a dishwasher. That's the best part about the house. I've already used it. I also have a separate wash room. That's nice for me. Plus its right in the kitchen. The bathroom is bigger which is also a plus. Three people in one small bathroom isn't going to work, especially if two of them are boys. The kitchen is a little smaller but there are more cabinets which I like. The whole place is really old but its perfect for us right now.

Tomorrow will be the first Thanksgiving without my family. Plus I am cooking everything myself. Tyler and I are having what we love with some traditional things. Our menu consists of: brown sugar ham (I am doing the glaze myself), a small whole chicken (rubbing it with ranch mix and butter), Granny's dressing (aka the best food ever to go in my mouth. Tyler agrees), broccoli casserole (Tylers favorite), twice baked potatoes (T's concoction and everyones favorite), and an angel food cake with sauteed strawberries and pineapples (sauteing it with sugar will make the juices come out and taste so delicious). One of Tyler's buddies that is also new here is coming and he is bringing ice cream. I will post pictures of the food later.

Oh and the furniture. Picture an 80's style beach house theme. Haha. Love you all. Happy Turkey Day!!
