MDJunction to me

cinderella"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

Now soso has gotten me thinking about Thanksgiving dinner.

What are your usual plans? And what are your usual Thanksgiving dinners

Be specific...I would love to know your entire menus.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is , of course, the TURKEY ~~~ and then the leftovers...LOL !! I could eat turkey every day in some sort of fashion.

As years go on, our Thanksgiving dinner remains the same except for where it is held and who is there.

Years ago, we would go to hubbys' sisters' in a very small house but filled to the brim with family, food and fun. We would go early in the morning to help prepare the food. Stay all day to see everyone coming and going and then play cards late into the evening.

Now, it is usually just hubby, daughter, grandson and myself here at our house. Sometimes we celebrate grandsons' birthday if it falls on Thanksgiving. (He was born the day after in 2001.)

This is the first year that daughter has had a real house (rather than small apartment) so I am thinking she will want several of the family there this year. She is soooo proud of her home ~~~ Smile

I DO wish our (USA) Thanksgiving were like the Canadians. Their Thanksgiving is the middle of October instead of the end of November as ours is. I would like the longer period of time between the holidays for more preparation.

I used to cook just about all that. However, I can't anymore. I will be fixing a few desserts.

We have about the same menu for Christmas at my daughter's home. She has been doing it for 5 years.

I do roast the turkey and make the dressing/giblet gravy.

For dessert I make Red Velevet Cake and another dessert.

I am sorry you are still sick. Maybe you could eat some crackers and milk.
