1 Day to Thanksgiving 2011

Just finishing the rolls, so I tried a new recipe to add a little color to the thanksgiving table....Red Cabbage

Tomorrow I will know if it's worthy to be on the successful recipe blog??

Gramma looked concerned and quizzical when she ask me if I had ever had Thanksgiving before??
The kitchen was somewhat of a mess at the time.

2 Days = Thanksgiving

Groceries, cleaning, and baking-we're almost ready. The turkey is thawing in a cooler, we finished grocery shopping this afternoon, and the lower level is cleaned.
