Oscar did his kitty ballet and batted something he found on the floor all around the kitchen. I’m not sure what Donner was doing, but his tongue was out.
While all this excitement was happening, I was in the kitchen with the pumpkins with the “World War 2 milk” as Mike called it last night. Actually, what he said was, “Hey! What’s with the World War 2 milk?”. Heh.
It’s one of the main ingredients in pumpkin pie filling – for Thanksgiving this weekend. I thought I’d do a little menu planning tonight.
The Thanksgiving dinner will be:
Turkey – either the smallest one I can find or a turkey breast. We never eat all the meat on a turkey no matter how hard we try.
Cranberry sauce
Smashed potatoes
I guess I should have something green in there, so Kale Slaw with Peanut Dressing it is.
Phew. That’s a lot of grub. We’ll have lunches and dinners for the rest of the week.
And, just to shake it up a bit, I think I’ll make pumpkin tarts instead of pumpkin pie. It’s easier to share tarts than pies and a pumpkin tart for breakfast is healthy.Pumpkin is a fruit, after all – very breakfasty. The whipped cream? Well, that’s pushing it. But, I think if it’s in the morning coffee, that’s totally fine.
And that’s my story.
