It has been a busy day. I made a list of "things" that I wanted to get done...well, that is comical, as most on the list are still not done. Tonight's photo shows something that got done on my list. I wanted to find all the dishes/pans that I need to use to prepare my part of Thursday's feast. I wanted to get all the things that are up high down, while I had the stepstool out (for decorating things up high). That way all my climbing up and down would be done and I could put the stepstool away. I put the ingredients near to what I will be using to make the recipes. I actually covered the roasting pan with foil...something that I don't think I have done before and am hoping that makes the clean up of that pan much easier. And, having it done prior to the day I need to use it should make it easier, too. Once I had all that organized, them I turned to on making me something to eat prior to Thanksgiving...I wanted to make this over the weekend, but the shrimp hadn't thawed...so today was the day and there was no turning back since the shrimp was thawed. I made Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo...and I will say, "Yummy!" Totally not Thanksgiving food...which is what I wanted since I will have plenty of Thanksgiving leftovers after Thursday's feast! Kathy, her mom, Joy, Isaac, and Joseph stopped by this afternoon. We had a nice visit and the boys did their good deed of the day for me...they blew leaves from my front yard to the curb and blew or swept off my front walkway and driveway. That was an unexpected perk for my day! I went to prayer meeting this evening and am now home. I guess time will tell if I get anything more crossed off my list of to-dos for today! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! 'Tis the season!
