Lots of stores that sell cheese and crackers are open until 11pm, or even 24 hours. At least locally to me. Different regions have different customs in this matter.

Potato rolls are common.Sweet potato rolls, not so much. If you find them they may be called sweet potato biscuits. If you can't find them, find out if your sister will be satisfied with potato rolls which you can find in most supermarkets.
Trader Joe's has sweet potato biscuits, though I can't guarantee any particular trader joe's has them and I don't even remember from past conversations if you have a TJ near you. If TJ does have it you can get the crackers and cheese there too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you, Typo, for reminding me that it's not even 9pm and I can still put on pants and go shopping. Honestly, in my mind it was like midnight.
I found the sweet potato rolls! Success. Qa'pla! Also got another pie, just in case, because with an extra young man at the table, two might not be enough. Apple, pumpkin, and blackberry should satisfy everyone.

Happy thanksgiving, Americans!
I'm delurking again (I think this might be the third time since I started reading in 2005... wow I really need to work on being less shy)
All the food talk is giving me serious t-day envy, I may have to make a mini thanksgiving dinner this week.
sj, I don't have any personal experience to contribute but I've found the babycenter community (while nightmarish in places) to be a good source for that kind of info. I'm so sorry you're having such nasty side effects, hormones can be so screwy.

Hi, Helena! Thanks. I tried googling, but I was only finding the scary this will kill you side effects. So I stopped. We made it to Mom's and I'm feeling a little calmer.

Hi sj, hi Zenkitty! Thanks! I'm glad you're feeling calmer, sj, I hope you have a lovely time at your Mom's.

Welcome, Helena.
I had a great day--hung around in the morning, made chex mix (which I am eating right now AIFG), went to meet an old friend and see his condo, then he and my BFF I'm staying with and I went to a diner place that had alcoholic milkshakes, and they make their own poptarts, and it was delicious. And then I met up with another friend and her partner and we hung out for apparently 5 hours at the same bar/restaurant (oops), and it was good times (...I probably could've left an hour or so earlier, but her partner is hella chatty and was a bit drunk, therefore would not shut up and kept ordering another beer).
Now here's hoping I drank enough water to combat the booze, and can wake up and do the race I'm supposed to, tomorrow morning!
I have not made any food other than the chex mix, but apparently WASPs eat Thanksgiving late? So the people's house we are going to had to be talked back to a 5PM dinner from 7PM, when most of us are used to more of a 2-3PM kind of thing (ie, "get up, eat brunch, cook a bit, eat Thanksgiving, sit around in a stupor for several hours until eventually you can nibble on some leftovers, go to bed") So I figure we can make the green bean casserole tomorrow afternoon.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Can I just complain for a minute about how Tim has worked late all week (until 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, and, oh, NOT HOME YET as of 10:17 p.m. tonight) and he's going camping this weekend? Thanks for spending some time with your wife, snookums. WHEN SHE'S ASLEEP.
I know that the camping opportunity is a family thing and they only do it twice a year, and we have all the other weekends of the rest of our lives together. I know that.
But it's boring and lonely working from home and being by myself all day, and then he works late and won't be around for the weekend, and it's just...shitty.
I'm thankful for him, no question, but I also want to punch him in the head right now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Welcome back again, Helena.
sj, if you have questions maybe have a friend hit the scariness of Dr. Google and only forward you a few potentially helpful links?
I have no problem with early Thanksgivings but you should just call it lunch. Unless it's the kind of dinner where supper is the later meal. Maybe that's it. Since I am supposed to have a roast turkey meal ready tomorrow at 3, I guess I am only cooking Thanksgiving lunch. That sounds way less terrifying, actually.
