That also reminds me that I need to pick up some cinnamon Graeter's to go with the pumpkin pie.

Got the cinnamon Graeter's today! At a location that had a drive-thru, bless them forever.

a whole bunch of groceries are in the kitchen, including various squashes, beets, brussels sprouts, apples, pears, pomegranates and probably a bunch of other things, which over the next few days will evolve into something I’m confident.

I saw a recipe on FB for a dish that's roasted butternut squash, brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes with cranberries and goat cheese: [link]

So I just found out now that neither of my sisters is hosting Thanksgiving this year, so now I have nowhere to go this year. Thanks for letting me know. I feel so invisible much of the time.

(I mean I could have called my sister sooner to find outwhat was going on, but still).

All of these things from ice cream to Brussels sprouts sound delicious.

I made it to my friend’s in SF! I am exhausted and super don’t want to work tomorrow. But I plan to take a half day. I hope. If things aren’t too cray.

Well that’s not very thoughtful on their part, Tom. I’m sorry.

Does anyone know if Graeters sells in MI? I haven’t found it in NC, and cinnamon ice cream with pumpkin pie sounds really good.

Oh, Tom, I’m sorry. That sucks.

Hope the move is smooth, Calli!!!

Tom, that really sucks. I'm sorry.

Does anyone know if Graeters sells in MI? I haven’t found it in NC, and cinnamon ice cream with pumpkin pie sounds really good.

It looks like Kroger stores sell Graeter's in MI, but it's probably hit or miss on what flavors they carry.

I'm sorry, Tom. Last minute flight to Ft Lauderdale! I'd be delighted to feed you turkey, with sandy beaches as a bonus.

I bought cranberries today.

That's about the extent of my productivity.

Also mushrooms!

I guess I can start prepping this stuff early.

I’ve heard we can get Graeter’s in Madison but I think it’s hit or miss around the Midwest. They do ship—but hella spendy.

Jeni’s seems like it’s spreading across the country, though.

Now I want pumpkin ice cream. Damn.

My (estranged) mother tried to invite herself to Thanksgiving at my house, and I felt extremely guilty but did not agree, but as a result I’m not sure what’s happening. I’m planning on her inviting the kids to her house Thanksgiving day so she can play loving matriarch, and then we’ll do Second Thanksgiving Friday or Saturday at our house. But we’ll see, and if we can get it together Tom and anyone else within striking distance is welcome.
