Thanksgiving

I'm bookmarking all these recipes so I can find them later.  So far today I've made English Muffins - long story but I was supposed to make Eggs Benedict again this year - and I forgot to buy English Muffins - so I figured I'd make some.  They were so good - that the kids ate all but 3 which I demanded we save for daddy (who went to work)  I'll make another batch tomorrow - they were easy - and will make wonderful egg sandwiches ! I used the leftover dough, buttered it, sprinkled it with cinnamon sugar, rolled it up and let it rise in a cupcake pan.  Baked it with a little dab of butter and more cinnamon sugar on top - and wow - those are all gone too - except for 1 I saved for Daddy. Then comes the prep for dinner.  So far I've made these Mashed Potatoes - from Pioneer Woman - awesome ! Also will be making Baked Sweet Potatoes Turnip Gratin - Oyster Dressing - except I substituted Pepperidge Farm cornbread stuffing instead of homemade - not enough h

I'll get around to it LOL Speaking of the hubster - he was supposed to return last Sunday from his 6 week stint in Egypt - but decided Friday nite to stay another couple of weeks.   I knew he was taking care of family difficulties, so I didn't mention to him the monstrous size of the impending storm.  He'd find out after the fact.  He's been on the phone
