I don’t have the energy to research further. I’m sure it’s your standard colonizer analysis.

I had a plan to cook all the standard dishes and then fix plates to take and eat with Dad at the retirement home.

But, turns out they are doing a Thanksgiving dinner there this year. You’d think I would be thrilled not to cook but actually one time a year I want all those foods the way I make them.

The plan is to make the traditional thanksgiving over Christmas. Just for this weekend I’m going to make the rolls (here’s a photo from 2010.) They are just Betty Crocker dinner rolls but a very nostalgic for me so I have to have them. Somehow I heard about Cookie Butter Pie so I have try it.

Happy Thanksgiving.
