behind again and the world is racing away!

Where did I leave off?  I'm going to have to look I've been cooking bunches and we are preparing to make holiday gifts.  We made lots of thanksgiving decorations.  

Turkey Tetrazzini!  
Recipe was a bit labor intensive and i wasn't delighted with it when it was on the table.  Everyone ate it and said it was good, but agreed something was missing.  I ate the leftovers at work 2 days later and it was amazing!!


Tony and I had an evening in while Haylee was at Grammies!  He made me Yummy chocolate Cherry Martini's and we played Video games!


Haylee and I made turkey goblets for thanksgiving dinner!



Grampy liked his!

We made Chinese food for thanksgiving dinner again.
turkey wonton soup
turkey egg rolls
stuffing egg rolls
porcupine balls
sweet and sour pork
General Tso's turkey
and my floppy pecan pie.  I'll get it right someday!
