This Thanksgiving it is just DH and I. MIL has passed on, and we decided it would be nice to have it alone, so we didn't invite anyone over.
I decided to make everything from scratch. Home-made cranberry/orange relish ( made yesterday, a double batch); home-made Texas cornbread stuffing ( yup, made the cornbread muffins last night). Creamed onions, from the "real" onions, not frozen. Real garlic mashed potatoes; real brussell sprouts, not frozen. This will be quite a feast for us, but most of the veggies I am making about half-recipe.
Since we won't have room for dessert, I will make an apple pie tomorrow for the left-over dinner.
I am having fun, so I guess one isn't crazy if one enjoys doing it. It is just that it is usually so easy to buy prepared, packaged and frozen food these days.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
