Hurry! The Thanksgiving Day Feast Grocery Shopping Race Is ON!

Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you won't miss the Blarties (=blog+party) on the weekends. To find out more about our Blarties check out this post, too. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekends!

I was pleasantly surprised earlier this evening when I discovered we had broken a visitor count record. Everybody’s gearing up for the Thanksgiving Day feast which resulted in a slew of visitors that had searched for “Southern Cornbread Dressing” and landed here.

So, you better hurry up and get to the grocery store ASAP and get your holiday feast groceries if you haven’t already. It always amazes me how those shelves and freezers at the grocery store get wiped out in no time flat at the last minute.

It’s as though everybody comes at once with a grocery vacuum in hand programmed to suck up all the ingredients for a holiday feast at breakneck suction and speed as soon as they enter the door. Hold on tight to your cart and its contents cuz those suckers are mighty powerful!

I bought all of mine last week. I wanted to get that job out of the way AND miss the vaccum totin’ crowd. Also, I ordered a Pumpkin Roll from our locally owned chicken diner, Jimmy’s Chicken, when I saw the sign on the front door of the restaurant. DH and I LOVE their southern fried chicken, cole slaw, and truly homemade pies so I figure their Pumpkin Roll ought to be a treat, too.

We’ll have the usual feast, roasted turkey, southern cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and giblet gravy, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, and rolls along with our Pumpkin Roll and maybe a homemade pie.

I thoroughly enjoy this feast the first time around and for the next couple of days afterward. It always taste GREAT the second and third time around AND, best of all, I don’t have to cook those days. :-)

  1. Well go on with your bad self. LOL! Seriously, kudos to you, I still have my holiday grocery shopping out front. The hold up is deciding what dishes to make for each dinner I’m cooking for, and finding out the menus for each; this way I can try to compliment whats already planned.

    I do know I will be making deviled eggs, and peanut butter cheesecake, and one of the 3 homemade cakes; carrot cake, oatmeal cake w/coconut pecan broiled icing, or a 3 layer red velvet cake w/a cream cheese and toasted pecan frosting? I know if I asked this brood they would say CARROT CAKE, hands down. But I like introducing new dishes/desserts in addition to the traditional ones. Plus I still have to come up with other sides?
