Thanksgiving

I hope everyone is able to enjoy their day with the ones they love.

I have been busy since I got off work yesterday afternoon. I had to come home and clean house, hop in the shower, and head out to the stores. Got in to get my hair cut first thing before I hit the stores. I got home and had a lot of stuff to put away, and stuff to prep for today. I got some Call of Duty time in late, I was trying to stay up so I could start my cooking early, but fell asleep about 1:30 this morning and woke up at 6:30. I was kinda in panic mode because I wanted to have alreay had things going at least by 4:30, so I was in hurry up mode as soon as I saw what time it was.

I told my parents I would cook. We haven't been a traditional turkey and fixings family, so I decided on a nice beef roast with red potatoes, carrots, and celery. I had to buy a crock pot since I haven't had one for awhile so I could do it. I also baked a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting because it is mom's favorite cake. I am also going to make a ceaser salad because they really like it. I picked up some cheese and made a cheese tray because dad loves his colby and pepperjack cheese. Of course a pumpkin pie, that was a given. I had a couple other ideas on what to fix instead of a roast, but I know mom and dad really like it how I do it so I went with it instead of getting all fancy with my cooking skills and risk them not liking what I fixed. They have a much simpler palate than I do, so I have to be careful what I fix.

I'm waiting on the roast to get further along before I head their way. I can keep it going on the way because I have a power inverter in my truck.
