I’m trying to get as much as possible prepped before Thursday, when we’ll have 19 people in our house for the Eating of the Food. Fortunately, I’m only in charge of side dishes. I’m making sweet potatoes today and most everything else — spinach gratin, corn cobbler and a pie — on Wednesday. Which is why we’re not having work-intensive meals the rest of the week.
Monday: Chili and grilled cheese
Our friends our going out of town for Thanksgiving, and they have a large pot of leftover chili to use up before then. So they’re bringing it over tonight. I’d planned to have grilled cheese and tomato soup; I’m going to forge ahead on the grilled cheese.
Tuesday: Sandwiches
I’m not sure what kind yet. Maybe PB&J.
Wednesday: Pizza
Thursday: Thanksgiving
Friday: Chili
We’re going to go pick out a Christmas tree on Friday, and we’re having a little tree-trimming party with the fam when we get it set up. I’m guessing it’ll be cold out there Friday, so the chili will probably be a warm and welcome treat.
We had some delicious chili last night. It was made with Heineken…sounds gross but it was great.

I agree, chili always makes things better. Have a great Thanksgiving!

What are y’all doing for Turkey Day? I screwed up and didn’t plan anything and now appear to be Thanksgiving-less. I’m thinking of buying myself a turkey TV dinner and listening to Arlo Guthrie.
sounds like you have a fabulous week planned!! the tree trimming and chili sounds very fun and cozy 🙂 . have a safe and happy turkey day!
