I made my own little pan of sweet potato casserole on Thursday and ate the whole thing in 2 days. SO GOOD.
Also, why do I never think to make it at any other time of year? lol

Hubbs went in at 1130 on Thanksgiving and worked until 3pm Black Friday, and by 3pm they had already done 236k. He said it was wild.
then he proceeded to work 10pmish to next day some time for Saturday and Sunday. Lordy retail is brutal.

Yah!

Actual conversation between me and a rather frazzled looking checkout clerk at a Walmart on a black Friday:
"With Walmart open on Thanksgiving, does it turn black Friday into dark grey Friday?"

"Are you trying to be cute?"

"No, that was a sincere question. Does it lighten the load on Friday? Or is it just as bad, but now twice as long?"

"It doesn't help Friday. Just makes the whole mess twice as long."

Hi. Just checking in. Made it through the holiday. Progressing towards the 12th when I get to stop wearing the sling.

I texted my step brother to come get this chocolate pie, I also have most of a sweet potato pie, and tons of mashed potatoes.

Strange you mentioned a chocolate pie. I picked up a chocolate pie at the auction just tonight.

Happy turkey day!

We are NOT having a family Thanksgiving lunch. Uncle Fred and wife, and uncle Bren and whole family have got da covids. I have a cold, and so does dad. Only ones uninfected are aunt Diane and crew. So we will have Thanksgiving when all the coughing has cleared up.

We WILL have it though. My family is big on family dinners. We like getting together to eat and talk. We only ever postpone. We never, ever outright cancel. The universe owes us a Thanksgiving dinner now, and we WILL claim it.

I've cooked multiple pies today. Sweet potato , chocolate, a sugar free apple for Chel, and some sugar free pineapple/cheery/banana jello based pies. Tomorrow, I'll do the dressing and no telling what else.

So what time are we eating?

That beats our thanksgiving. Almost the whole family is down with covid. We might do Thanksgiving next weekend. Like, maybe a week and a half from right now.
