I bought Christmas Crackers, and some really interesting (and pricy) specialty beers for T-day. It's weird not actually planning or making food.
I think I mentioned I'm going to my sister's boyfriend's parents' house on Thursday. I don't think I mentioned that that said boyfriend won't be there, on account of being IN JAIL. Or that there is lots of family drama going on related to various weddings that did and did not happen this year. Or that - as I found out today - we will be the only not family members there. Oy.
I've got lots of sage. I've got rosemary and thyme. I could practically sprinkle Simon and Garfunkel on my turkey.
At this point I will lose all respect if you don't get some parsley. It's just parsley. The corner mart should have that in San Francisco.
Brenda, I think you'll definitely have the most interesting Thanksgiving dinner story to tell on Friday.
I'm sure that mine will be uneventful, unless my mother and I have a fight. And then it won't be interesting, you all will have heard the drama before :)

I have parsley! It's actually the biggest bunch.
I need it for the Pommes Pommes Savoyard.
Whoah, Brenda. Now that's interesting!!
I had to go to Trader Joe's tonight to buy dinner food. Because I have all the Thanksgiving food, and no other food. Oops. I'm not used to being home this long!
I even went to the schmancy co-op for the first time, since TJ's didn't have turkeys the other day. ...so when I went tonight, TJ's had put out the turkeys. Sigh. Though they all looked huge, more than I would've wanted.
Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, brusssels sprouts, cranberries (from a can) and pie. I think that's it. A friend texted today and I told him to bring rolls. Am I missing something?

If you can't find any, just tell people that you used sparsley.
And....billytea brings it on home!
Clean! I have Cleaned Most Of The Things! I just need to go and wipe down the counter, then I will be making my ham marinade, and Mr. Pig Leg will be taking a long, cold sweet bath tonight.
I just have to sweep and mop tomorrow, and pick up my office a bit (not that people will be hanging in my office, but first post-marriage MiL visit) and I am golden.
The in-law's will be here tomorrow afternoon sometime, and they will be bringing a new (to me) dining room set. YAY!
OMG, I forgot wine! THANK YOU, Vortex.
