Happy Thanksgiving

Since we all woke up before 7 a.m., Linda decided to do part of the cooking before she leaves for the gym.  When she gets back, she'll put the actually casseroles together to bake.  The beans will be quick, so she can do those at the last second.  She went to Target to buy 3 big baking dishes, but they were expensive and she would probably never use them again.  I hope everyone does not think she is a cheapskate because she is going to bake them in those throw-away tins.  They were under $1, and it just made more sense to Linda to use those.  Once she mashes the sweet potato and squash and before she salts the string beans, she is going to set some aside for us before she mixes in the seasonings and toppings.  I'm sure there will be a small sliver of leftover turkey for her to bring home.  She is going to make Chip, Chim and I our own little Thanksgiving plate for later.
