Happy cooking and eating Hosers!

It is Wendesday, innit?

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here. Lots of cooking and prep work underway across the US. Many businesses have already closed for the holiday.

When I lived at home. My mom would start the day before cook till 2 am. Sleep for couple hours. And start up again at 6. I actually disliked holidays because we always had to do tons of work. Before and after. After the kids in the family were out of school. All the Aunts got together and basically hashed out a new ritual. Each one would cook every 4th year. And the families would rotate houses each of the years. That cut down on some here, some there, some over there. Still would make some side dishes and deserts. But for the most part labor saving for the mothers.

We split it up the work by holiday a few years ago. My brother and sister-in-law host every Thanksgiving and cook all of the dinner and side dishes so I only have to show up with an appetizer and some desserts. Christmas Day we have 20-25 here for dinner and I do the majority of the cooking for the dinner and sides with my brothers and their families bringing appetizers and desserts. Easter we all eat dinner out together (about 25 of us). Mother's Day we get Chinese food delivered so there's no work for any of the moms.

Dave knows how to operate a microwave.
He has no part in meals unless a jar needs opened or something....

Lenny?? why is a moose named Lenny...?

I realized you'd been to the LL Bean store not just the catalog. So besides polar bear cookies they have choco-mooses?

Boy is it quiet with school out and apparently nobody has gone to work or left their house most of the day. I'm ready for a nap.

The moose lives at Len Libby Candies.

Yes, there were a number of wonderful things at Bean. I was able to avoid all but a sweater and an early Christmas present from MLW.

Damn... you'd think there'd be more than one restaurant in a city as large as Boston!

They are open 24/7. There are no locks on the doors.

Daughter-in-law and wife have been conspiring all week on who makes what. Tomorrow will be an exceptional meal, after which I will be miserable
