Prepping

 Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a uniquely American holiday.  Belle and I are prepping for the big meal, at noon.  We're having ham and turkey and all the fixings.  Each daughter has her responsibilities, one for the corn bread dressing, one for sweet potatoes, one for green bean casserole.  Belle's brother is bringing a corn casserole, and my sister is in charge of dessert. It will be a great time.

We have one dear friend, Vovo, who lives across the little lake in our subdivision.  He spent a lot of time in South America, and his wife is Brazilian.  His wife's family is Brazilian, and they are hosing the Brazilian expats who live locally. He expects about 25 for lunch tomorrow.

He was over on Monday, teasing Belle about her cornbread dressing recipe. He wants to give the Brazilian crowd the full experience.  Belle graciously to make a big corn bread dressing, and it took him about two seconds to graciously accept.  Belle is making a big dressing that he can slip into the oven for a half-hour before serving.  He will pick it up today for the party tomorrow.  We hope the South Americans enjoy it.

I'll spend today prepping, getting the turkey ready for the frying pot tomorrow and generally giving the shop a good wipe-down.  Y'all have a good Thanksgiving.
