My mother will be here shortly so we can make our stuffing. This has become a tradition between Mom and me for about the last 10 years. Ever since we've lived in the same town. She breaks up the bread into cubes while I cook the celery and onion in butter. Then I add brown rice, walnuts and apples. We prepare this while we have a glass or two of wine. Part of the tradition! Our stuffing is the best I've ever had! I'll be up early to stuff the bird and stick it in the oven. By mid morning those delicious aromas will fill the house. Thanksgiving dinner is actually a very easy dinner to prepare, it just uses up a lot of pots, pans and dishes. The clean up is the hard part.
My cousin and his wife and two children are arriving later tonight. My son, Austin, and his family will be here about noon tomorrow. It will be a great weekend. The weather is not sounding good for late tonight and morning, though, so I hope the travel for everyone is safe.
I wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
