New Rule: Kitchen is Off Limits For Non-Thanksgiving Fare

I’m not sure my feet could hurt any more than they do right now.

I sat down exactly twice today: when I drove to and from the grocery and when I scarfed down a quick lunch.

The rest of the day I was on my feet in front of the stove, sink or broom in hand.

Of course, the high points were in the kitchen. I was able to finish the cranberry marmalade sauce, butternut squash/apple soup and a not-so-pretty, but very tasty Hoosier sugar cream pie.

After work, the iFarmer got busy making his mashed sweet potatoes.

Our fridge is filling up so fast I dragged out the extra large cooler for overflow.

Thankfully the weather finally got seasonable, so I could cool hot dishes outside too.

By the end of the day, I’d implemented a new rule: no more cooking in the kitchen unless the dish is in furtherance of our Thanksgiving feast. From now on…it’s carryout and paper plates.

More cooking tomorrow…though I imagine most of the day will involve me trying to keep the kids from destroying the house.
