Dinner was done by 11:30. Everyone ate and promptly took a nap. Now we are on our way to my sister's house for dinner.
I feel sorry for all of you that didn't have a @nitax sweet potato pie. I don't know about patties's pie but Nita's recipe was the bomb. Thank you so much.
Day 2 of extreme nausea and shakiness. Day 3 of being awoken by toddler and infant too early/often.
Dry thanksgiving
That stinks. Hope it goes away.
Thank you. It finally did go away, and i feel human. Now ill say dinner was a success. I was feeling pity party irritated before. Now i can hace pie the next 3 meals
The roads were too bad this morning to make the three hour drive to my brothers. I'm very sad. But we knew this might happen so we had our back up meal, a bottle of wine, now we are all taking naps. I'm by myself in the living room, laying on the couch watching the Great British Baking Show. And I made pumpkin whooped pies for tonight.
DH went to pick up his friend for dinner. DH just called me to ask what we are having for desert (I have texted him a menu 3x over the past few weeks so if his coworkers wanted to bring something, they would know what we are already cooking).
Friend is trying to decide, at 3.41PM on THANKSGIVING DAY what to bring/prepare. Are you effing kidding me?
I told DH good luck finding a store that's open. The turkey is ready in 30 minutes. This friend has had 2 weeks to figure this out.

Welp. How sad for your DH's friend that he has to stay home for Thanksgiving dinner. More for you.

Been up since 6.30, laid in bed for an hour until my bladder made me get up. I've been cooking in rounds this morning which had been nice and relaxing. Dishes are washed and just needs put away, and the turkey is about to go in at 12.30 (in 15 minutes).
Almost thought I wouldn't get the turkey in on time because it was partially frozen even though it's been in the fridge since Monday. Using water baths and rotating it between prepping has paid off and it's ready to go.
Called my parents this morning and talked with my Dad since my Mom was getting my niece to spend today with them.
DH has been helpful without my asking. Cleaned up the living room and table, and has been massaging my feet between cooking since I've officially hit the feet swelling stage.
@asdfjkl I don't speak to my sister either and didn't want to get my family involved in our drama until they started telling me that I needed to "keep the peace" in the family since I refuse to be in the same house as her. That's when I finally told family I couldn't forgive my sister for what she said that caused us to get into a physical altercation (that she hopes DH gets deployed and dies). Sometimes family does need to know the dirty details so they'll be more understanding.
I'm also sorry you're going through this especially during the holidays.
I really, really hope you literally throatpunched her.
@gpw DH ended up bringing him. He's off the Christmas invite list. I'm tired of people who say they'll do something and then don't follow through. Don't have time for that bs or patience for it anymore.
@bplaa dib Yum, pie o'clock! Turkey just came out of the oven, I'm so ready to stuff my face with pie and ice cream soon!
@kateaggie I did my best, it was a drunken brawl near the chicken coop with 2vs1 (sister and her gf vs me).

I had to listen to H's aunt go off about how All Lives Matter (actually, they didn't even say that they said White Lives Matter, that Trump has some great points and is her #1 choice, that BLM people need to 'get a life,' Muslims hate women, Syrian refugees are getting all the perks (FREE IPHONES PEOPLE!!) there should be more Christ in public school.
But Racist Aunt had to leave the room because "she didn't want to hear this conversation" when Other Aunt tried to change the conversation with a funny story about how after a long car trip with her H, she took a swig of wine out of the bottle when they got to the hotel.

Enjoyed The Wiz preview on the parade. Forgot to add yeast at that start of making the sourdough bread whoops/wtf. At least the cranberry orange muffins and beer bread rolls are good to go.
Have a great day everyone!
Isn't the point of sourdough that the starter IS the yeast?
And I'd love the recipe for the muffins please!
It was a box recipe, but I have definitely made enough bread to know better lol. It was edible but dense, oh well.
The muffins were also a Krusteaz brand box recipe.
