Turkey Day countdown!

Yeah, I'm not annoyed by anything ppl want to post :) I think it is great that we can each use this as we see fit! It is funny, there's quite the debate raging around the blogosphere about food journaling via blogging and it really does seem to be split pretty evenly -- some people are all about journaling and that is what helps keep them on track while others it just makes them crazy and all OCD-like! I'm not sure where I fit, yet :)

Matt and I are doing Thanksgiving at my house Thursday with my mom, step-dad, sister (and her boyfriend), and brother (and his girlfriend). My mom wanted to make things easy on me, so she ordered one of those pre-made dinners. I picked it up at the Bel Air tonight. Honestly, I was pretty much just thrilled I don't have to deal with raw turkey. I am so anti the raw-poultry in my kitchen, really I'm pretty freakish about it. It comes with an entire cooked turkey (good since we've got 8 people), plus three sides, a pumpkin pie, rolls, cranberry sauce and gravy. People still wanted to make stuff to bring, so we are also having salad, green bean casserole, orange-cranberry relish, sweet potato casserole of some sort, a sour-cream apple pie and Martinelli's. WOW, is all I have to say. WOWOWOWOW.

Then Friday we do it all over again at Matt's mom's house with that side of the family. My theme for the holiday weekend is "Moderation." We'll see how it goes.
