Unexpected Thanksgiving

Gn2Dlnd · 11-16-2007, 09:30 AM

Huh. As of yesterday, looks like I'm going to visit my brother and his wife in Atlanta for Thanksgiving. I've never done spur-of-the-moment traveling before, never been in the budget, never had the time. I'm losing my Thursday and Friday markets next week because of the holiday, and my brother is really good at online bargain shopping. Voila! Time off, and an affordable flight. I'll be leaving Tuesday afternoon, and coming back Friday eve, just in time for leftovers. I'm excited to be able to do this, and anxious, because every fiber of my being says I should be putting the money to more responsible use.

My inner pauper is going to have to stfu.

I finally decided that yes, I am going to cook something, even though I will be spending the holiday family free.

Apricot Glazed Cornish Hen (stuffed with apricot & sausage stuffing)
veggies TBA
and, of course, pie!

I am sure I will break down shopping today and buy a can of cranberry sauce. Typically I do make home made from fresh, but this year, the desires to do so is not so much!
