Thanksgiving at home, alone....

[poltr1]

Well, it's going to be just the three of us at Thanksgiving this year. R doesn't have the available vacation time to cover for a trip to Buffalo to visit with my parents. And I'm not about to go up there alone.

The menu as of right now: A 3 lb turkey breast (an excuse to use the old roaster my parents gave me), sweet potato casserole (recipe halved), mashed potatoes, corn, stuffing, cranberry sauce, apple and pumpkin pies. (Yeah, I know, it's starch-heavy, but that's what R wants and is used to.)

Is anyone out there brave enough to try Susan Stamberg's Cranberry Relish Tradition? I considered it, but since R isn't a cranberry person, I'd be the only one eating it.

(And for you chocoholics out there, here are some Pure Chocolate Recipes for the Holidays.)

Happy T Day

Dan and i are having duck. We're having yams, pototes, a couple of cans of vegetables and dressing. For dessert there is a pumpkin pie and whipped topping. We're trying to keep the leftovers to a minimum.

My son, Teddy, wife Naomi and daughter, Cloey will be dropping in. Don't know if they want to eat or not. My friend Vicky is joining us for dinner.

We're off to Chambanacon on Friday.

We're off to Chambanacon on Friday.

Never been to that con. Heard it's a very nice relaxacon.

One big reason why we don't go is that it time-conflicts with Chicago Tardis and Starbase Indy. And in years past, it used to time-conflict with HME/Visions in Chicago and the Slanted Fedora con in Indy.

FWIW, the last Thanksgiving weekend con we went to was Visions '96.
