It always depends on what’s going on at work – some years we get to leave early, and some days its just a regular day. I’ll just have to wait and see!
I realized this morning I’ve done nothing to prepare for Thanksgiving tomorrow! Haven’t made my pies, brined my turkey or anything. Luckily there will only be five of us, so I am not worried – I’ll get it all done.
Tonight I am going to make Nicole’s crustless pumpkin pie. Only 162 calories a slice! Because I am also making my full metal jacket pecan pie.
Here is my recipe for a perfect pie crust. Um, it only has 1.5 sticks of butter for two pie crusts!
Yesterday’s breakfast – McDonald’s sausage biscuit and a sliced apple.
I have to say, I am kind of getting a bit sick of running 5k’s every day – only four more to do before the end of my 21 day challenge! Check out my time yesterday!!
So fricken close! I’ll get to my goal before Sunday – only have to shave 7 seconds off. 
I had Tony’s leftover Chinese for lunch – I promise there were veggies and sliced beef on the bottom of all these noodles. After this picture was taken, I had to spice it up with some sriracha though.
Yep, I added a snowman to my picture using picmonkey.com – it’s almost time to bring out my snowmen!! I am sure Tony is so excited that it’s snowman season – #not!
I had leftover pot roast and made open faced beef sandwiches – half a kaiser roll topped with 3 ounces of thinly sliced roast beef, topped with baby swiss and put under the broiler. On the side was German potato salad and then I topped each sammie with 1/4 cup of gravy. While this looks like ass, it was really good!
I have to scoot – we have a birthday at our office and I have to stop and pick up bagels on my way to work. Fingers crossed we get to leave early!
Question of the Day: How many people will be at your Thanksgiving table?
I won’t be blogging until Friday – I hope you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving!
p.s. Happy Birthday to blog reader Louise!! She’s 66 years young today – if you have time, stop by and wish her a happy birthday.
I love the new look of your blog! I only have to make one dish for thanksgiving and then take it to Tom’s parents, there should only be about 12 of us.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with all of us you relaly realize what you’re talking about! Bookmarked. Please also talk over with my web site =). We could have a link change contract among us
Oh wow, open faced pot roast sandwich with potato salad…yum!!!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving…I am visiting my aunt, uncle,and cousins…actually not sure how many total people it will be! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving Biz! In answer to your question….I am taking pumpkin pies, coleslaw and cranberries to a friends house, there will be 5 of us gathering in her beautiful house on the river…..it will be sooooo relaxing!!!! My family is deseased and JP’s live in Hoffman Estates……they are all busy with their families……so we spend it here in appleton with our friends.
Happy Thanksgiving, Biz. Hope it’s a great one!!
Man, I have been MIA! You have been running 5k’s every day? That would drive me nuts! lol. Happy Thanksgiving Biz!!
We are hosting it at our house this year instead of going to my Dad’s side because….I asked. Certain family members just…aren’t fun to be around. Anyhow, my mom’s brother’s family is coming so in total there will be 9 of us! Woohoo! Have a great Thanksgiving Biz!
We usually cook a big dinner. Every year since the mid-90s, except for 2006 when it was my hubby’s 20th HS reunion so we flew back to his family’s house. Our son was a baby. This year, the stars aligned…as I struggled 2 weeks ago to see who was in town to work the holiday (we are in manufacturing and rarely closed), I realized that EVERYONE was traveling.
So no engineering means no production, so production decided to shut down. So I said “heck!” and we’re traveling to San Diego. Having a dinner out with some friends who will also be there. They live in Dallas and we haven’t seen them in 15 years. So…there will be 8. Four adults, four kids.
25…Lord give me strength! Happy Thanksgiving Biz!
The best part of working is when they let you go home early before a holiday – it’s like early dismissal at school. Hope you get that today!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Biz – I know you’ll be in your element soon, cooking for everyone and enjoying the laughter.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving !!! We will be having 22 adults + the ankle munchers around our table tomorrow,should be a crazy day.I am so glad it is not my year to host ;-).
Only three of us at the table this year. I like the addition your words on your pics. I have always wanted to do that. Now I can…thanks to Biz and picmonkey. Your pecan pie looks deadly…sweet. I can not imagine the sugar coma.
Have a Happy Turkey Day!
???Do you use a food scale when you prepare your food for calorie counting? I’m looking at getting one but not sure if it is worth it.
I love my food scale – pretty much use it on a regular basis – it helps because after a while an ounce of something turns into an eyeball three ounces!
The one I have was cheap, under 15 bucks, and can go up to 3 pounds, and its digital!
Happy turkey day Kym!
Thank you. Gobble gobble gobble.
Happy Thanksgiving Biz! I haven’t done a single thing to get ready for tomorrow either…getting in panic mode over here!
