Thanksgiving eve 2014

It's obviously a Wednesday.  Scott's gone to the store for last minute cranberry sauce, whipped cream and biscuits (for breakfast in the morning).  We cooked for a few hours together this afternoon.  "Party" playlist pulsing, and the smells and sounds of Thanksgiving in the kitchen.  We made a variation of Paula Dean's green bean casserole and a variation of Scott's mom's chicken and dressing.
The kitchen is spic and span and the food sealed up tight in the fridge all ready to bake tomorrow.

Click above to go to the recipes...for the dressing to make it like RJ's, use cornbread crumbs, a dozen hard boiled eggs shredded into the dressing and shredded chicken from at least 1 rotisserie chicken added to at least 4 cups of sauteed onion, celery and we add about a cup of sauteed mushrooms and a chunk of pesto too. Season as you go along...add about 4 cups chicken broth.  YUM. We'll probably make gravy to go with the dressing too.

There are also two pies waiting in the wings...both from Costco.  Apple and pumpkin with ice cream and whipped cream to top!
Now I think it may be a pizza dinner at the bar of Boston's tonight....for some Shiner Cheer Beer!  We've enjoyed our little stash of it in the fridge too.
