11/28 - Thank You Thanksgiving Thursday

Cut it like cut and bake cookies, length wise and a little thicker than you think is right.

 

I think it goes in this container, then you pull the handle. Problem solved.

 

this is epic, wish I would have thought of it before the kids had pie there would have been full on seizures and laughs a plenty for the parents

 

I haven't felt this out of touch since I realized Prego wasn't a joke and was a real thing they sell in stores.

 

I can't stand the stuff. Seriously number two of the things I don't want near my Thanksgiving dinner table, but I will admit it's fun as hell to cut.

 

If it exists, you can buy it in a can somewhere.

 

I made actual cranberry sauce a few years ago for a big turkey day, and everyone was happily eating it except Matt, who says it's his favorite. Turns out he only eats the stuff in the shape of a can.

 

They aren't the same thing says people who's opinion I trust.

My aunt buys a can of the stuff every year and the entire thing goes untouched. I think she just buys it because it's such a stereotypical Thanksgiving thing that you're supposed to have.

 

Prego is a real thing bird. I think we need to have a talk about when mommies and daddies love each other very much

 

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT THE JOKE WAS!

I thought it was like...a joke based on you're welcome/being preggo and not a real brand. I didn't realize it was a real sauce until I was in the wrong aisle of the grocery store...cause I don't go to that dark place where they sell jarred sauce. I texted @Buntastic in total shock and she will never let me live it down.

 

If it helps think of it like preg-GO (woman) and PRAY-go (sauce).

 

The only time I had ever seen a jar of it was a friend's pregnancy announcement I just thought it was a meme and I was behind on what the kids think is funny.

Turns out I'm just that out of touch with normal food. My bad.

 

....vvrrroooooooOOOOOOOOOMmmmmmmmm .... screeeeaaaacccchhhhhh..... (sounds of wheelchair backfiring and screeching to a halt). Hey @ChrisTurk !!! I have EYES on ya!!! LOL ... All kidding aside, I'm still here in the background reading more than writing and still doing as much turking as I am physically able to do. So along for being majorly thankful to you and those who have been here from the beginning and those who have just come I am especially thankful for my staff of loving health care workers who come to my home and work tirelessly for me each day, whether I am cranky or not! LOL, All my staff members are CNAs (Certified Nurses Aides) and looking forward to getting a seat in school to become Registered Nurses one day. One of my fine ladies has already left for Nursing School and I am so proud of her.

Today my dear lady who comes to me Monday through Friday made this wonderful Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole for me. Mind you when she came to work from me on the 1st of July the first thing she told me is that she didn't know how to cook and I told her "We can fix that if you are willing to learn." We've become quite the kitchen dual since then. She chops, and tears and shreds and stirs and I sit nearby in my wheelchair available to give her step-by-step instruction as she is working. We don't measure precisely but learning the "old School Way" ... It looks about right. Cookies and Cakes – we might get a bit more precise when doing those from scratch, but the rest of the world – look out here we come!



This is a new dish for her that she has never made and I have not made this in well over 50 years. So we revamped it a little bit and brought it up to date so that I can have it with the sodium restrictions that I face. The first time we took it out of the oven the wild rice was not cooked thoroughly. So where we took a little taste test out, we introduce three more cups of chicken broth into the pan, covered it with a foil hat so it would not brown more, and put it back in the oven to finish cooking the wild rice. Voilà dinner is rescued and it is time to eat!

I know this isn't the traditional turkey dinner that many of you are enjoying today, but this is a major victory for the gal who comes Monday through Friday. She's 20 years old, got her CNA while she was a high school, and one of the best caregivers I've had.

Today's movie for our holiday viewing pleasure was "Sully". My BFF and I have seen it previously, but my caregiver has not and it was really good to see once again. If you have not seen this movie you can rent it from Google Play or YouTube for about $4.99.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
