Thanksgiving preparations

I picked up Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah yesterday evening right on schedule.  Lorena had stew and a nice salad waiting for us when we got home.  We are awful glad to have them here.  We have decided that we are going to divide the cooking up into three events.  Tomorrow, we are going to make a traditional Thanksgiving meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, black olives, etc.  Lester, Esther, and their family will come over tomorrow evening for dessert so the Finnish ladies can meet each other.  Then, one evening, Grandpa Milo will make a gourmet meal that he will teach to Kelly and Christian.  Finally, we will cook a second turkey on the grill on Saturday just to see if we can do it.  We have a really small grill, so we are not so sure how it will turn out.

Grandpa Milo is going to help us plan our yard.  We want to do something next summer that is not too expensive, but that will be fun when we entertain.  Grandpa Milo has some ideas on a fire pit.  I think that sounds great.  Maybe we can run down to Home Depot to look at materials so we can know what we need to buy when we get started.

    EXACTLY!!! Barbecue is good! There is no down side to barbecue. I have found that when you are in Texas, it is best to acknowledge that BEEF is the only REAL barbecue, but in most of the rest of the south, PORK is the only REAL barbecue. I can live with that. I am absolutely willing to acknowledge that reality!!! The only TRUE answer is to do whatever is necessary to maximize barbecue!!! Mexico really has the most true faith. The only TRUE barbecue is “all of the above.” The only TRUE and righteous barbecue is chicken, beef, pork, sausage, hot dog, kid, lamb, and, if all else fails, lizard and frog!! I am a TRUE believer in barbecue!
