1. What are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?
Thursday, we’ll be going to Husband’s great-grandma’s house for dinner with his mom’s side of the family. (I’ll be making baked macaroni & cheese.) Saturday, my family is doing their Thanksgiving at my parents’ house. (I’ll be making my Granny’s stuffing/dressing and a cake.) Sunday, Husband, my dad, my brother, and my brother-in-law are going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (my dad’s team!) v. Tennessee Titans game in Nashville. Mom & I will be driving along, too, so we can spend some time in Nashville.
2. What are you most thankful for this year?
I’m thankful for life in general this year. I’m thankful for an amazing husband. I’m thankful for awesome parents and wonderful siblings. I’m thankful for my adorable nephew. I’m thankful I have such great in-laws. I’m thankful for all of the people in my life.
3. Do you have any traditions on Thanksgiving? The parade? Football? Long naps?
Um, we mostly cook and eat food. I usually make my Granny’s stuffing.
4. Is it called stuffing or dressing? Is it in the bird or a separate dish?
I usually call it stuffing, even though I never put it in the turkey. It’s a separate dish. Well, more like two or three giant pans full. When Granny & I used to make it, we’d mix everything together in a HUGE laundry basket. I’m serious. We made a lot of stuffing.
5. Do you cook?
Yes, though I’m making less than usual this year for my sanity.
6. What is your favorite dish?
Stuffing. Even though I make Granny’s stuffing, it’s not really a recipe. I know what to put in it, but I just sort of eyeball how much of everything to put in. It still never tastes quite like her stuffing, but it has been close! I really like broccoli casserole, too!
7. What is your dessert preference?
Mmm, pumpkin pie.
8. What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory?
All the years I shared with my Granny and Pawpaw. Especially the year Granny let me make the stuffing on my own for the first time. It was maybe a year or two before she passed away.
9. Do you plan to shop on Black Friday?
Nope. I don’t really want to stand in line at 2:00 a.m. after eating a huge Thanksgiving feast. I’d rather sleep.
10. What are you most dreading about Thanksgiving this year?
Really, nothing. This is the first year (since Granny & Pawpaw passed away) I’m truly looking forward to Thanksgiving.
