Mama, what's the cortisone shot for? Hope you're ok.

[CajunMama]

I went to the ent for pressure on the right side of my face. I didn't want to be hurting over the holidays. I thought it was the start of a sinus infection but the dr. just thought it might be allergies. I'm fine right now...hyper as all get out. Hope i don't crash tonight while trying to finish some of the other dishes. Thank you for asking.

[dizzyfish]

Hang in there Mama! Don't crash in your casserole! Hope you are better soon.

Turkey
Gravy
Oyster Dressing
Cranberry Sauce
Green Beans (steamed those this morning)
Squash Casserole (planning on making this later today)
Baked Sweet Potatoes

And probably some rolls if I can get to the store today.

As far as I know only for the 2 of us unless his sister & hubby decide to come:

Turkey Breast
stuffing
candied yams
a veggie (always a last minute decision)
black olives
if I can find good cabbage, my mom's cole slaw recipe
Dutch Apple Pie/cool whip
Riunuite Lambrusco
Folger's Coffee or coke

Usually don't buy Folger's or Coke as it's too expensive so this is a treat.

Turkey day plans.....

6AM
Cefadroxil, Oxycodone, Duricet, check bandages and body temperature, water, milk and cereal with crushed banana. Sleep.


10AM
Oxycodone, check bandages and body temperature, empty fluid sacks, measure and record, strip lines for clots. Sleep.

2PM
Cefadroxil, Oxycodone. Check bandages and body temperature. Soup....if she can keep it down. Sponge bath. Sleep.

6PM

I don't mean to bring everyone down......but for many women recovering from multiple breast cancer surgeries.....this will be their day. And it can break your heart.

Mom, does the pineapple junk have marshmallows, whipped cream and cherries in it? YUMMY

[sweetpea]

Hey Mom, what is the cooked apples with cinnamon red hots???? Never heard of that and it sounds good.

Pburgh I am sure that you would have remembered the wine once you got going. I actually sent my hubby to the store just now to get a couple of things that I forgot, he just called me and told me that I was mean and that I owe him. I figured it would get him out of my hair for awhile. I am trying to decorate the tree.

[Pburgh]

Sweetpea, I canned some pears this year with a syrup of those cinnamon red hots and sugar. They turned out yummy.

I definitely wouldn't forget the Chardonnay. In fact, I'll probably have a couple glasses while I'm cooking today!!!! LOL Happy Thanksgiving

[sweetpea]

LOL-already started. My husband and his business partner shut down early today. They are here drinking beer and playing Tiger Woods golf while I decorate the tree and have a FEW glasses of wine.

If you need the recipe PM me and I'll give it to you. Caution though - I don't have exact measurements - it's a fly by the pants thing.
