Day 15 - I love to cook

I guess the proper term would be baking.

I especially love making desserts; but I am always looking forward to this time of the year. Our family has many traditions, we have 2 Thanksgiving meals and come Christmas used to have 3 large meals, now it is down to just 2!

Around town/work/some family/friends...I'll hear people himming-and-hawing about the BIG Turkey dinner! How difficult it is, and how they aren't looking forward to cooking it all. It really isn't all that hard - it comes down the planning the dishes/times the day before. That way, the day of the cooking is relaxing and catching up with family and friends take priority of the rush in the kitchen.

This year we'll be celebrating our 2nd Thanksgiving meal in June Lake, CA. What a great place! Usually we are in Hermosa Beach, CA - another great place! I'll be doing the Turkey, gravy, and stuffing and bringing lots of other great goodies just for snaking over the 2-3 days that we'll be there. One trick I learned recently is to make corn bread in the crock pot. Put it on low and walk away - wha-la!

Off to bed, got a long week ahead...
