Today I'm going through my fridge and dealing with perishables. I made apple crisp, and I'm cooking some carrots, most of which I will freeze. I also chopped up and froze some celery this morning -- that will be good for use in soup. Now I just have a bit of cheese to use up -- think I'll make an oven-toasted open-faced cheese sandwich later on. I have managed not to go to the store this week, but I will tomorrow morning, just to pick up food to take to my brother's. He will have the whole Thanksgiving meal planned, so I am taking wine, coffee, and English muffins for breakfast. At least that is the plan.
On Thursday morning I will head up to Michigan. I'm driving. Supposedly Thanksgiving morning will be the best time to be on the road. I will probably come home on Monday morning, since Sunday is supposed to be a very bad day travel-wise. While I'm out tomorrow I'll top off the tank, so I won't have to worry about finding gas on Thanksgiving Day.
I'm hoping everything goes well. My family has fallen victim to the culture wars, to some degree, so I hope there is no political discussion -- or religious. So sad that we have to tiptoe around our families and friends these days, when in the past, differences were accepted and respected.

Maybe we need Thanksgiving to remind us! What a boring world this would be if we all thought the same.
Safe travels!
