The Friday Five

Oh how I love the holiday season! The decorating, getting together with family telling the same old family stories and the cooking!  The wonderful smells of the season always evokes the great childhood memories of road-tripping from Ohio to Clarksdale to love on family and friends I hadn't see all year and prepping the meal that the entire family would enjoy.  I LOVE the holidays!

So please do me a solid and tell me either five things you are thankful for or five things you will be cooking this Thanksgiving.

My menu includes:
  1. Cornish hens - haven't decided how they will be prepared yet...fry them whole, roast them or smoke them *shrug* no clue!
  2. Lobster mac and cheese - decadent!
  3. Cornbread dressing
  4. Real deal fried corn with bacon and ham and onions and peppers *swoon*
  5. Bourbon Pecan Pie

Five of the things I am thankful for include:
  1. Having supportive people in my life that I totally love and that totally love me
  2. My daughters...they kinda rock
  3. My life. It is in a good, happy place right now
  4. Employment. I enjoy my job and the people I work with...that is rare! LOL I don't take that for granted!
  5. God's grace and mercy. He knows the true blue T R-rah and loves me any ole way!
 Have a wonderful holiday...I am sure I will have the "itis" all holiday weekend! LOL

I'm thankful for

1) My relationship with God.
2) My beautiful family.
3) Seeing another Thanksgiving.
4) Having a place to live and electricity along with running water.
5) I'm thankful for being able to love myself and others unconditionally.

As far as cooking? I gave no idea. I just show up the night before ready to work. I get put in charge of sweets from the most part.
