What a slam dunk of a day. The cheesecake just came out of the oven and is looking good. The meat is marinating and there was just a lot of dicing, chopping, etc. Tomorrow our Thanksgiving Day will begin with a lot of prep having been taken care of today. We are looking forward to the day and all that it will bring to Stauffer Avenue.

Dennis is very fond of seafood salad, either on crackers or as a side dish. We have purchased it at several places ready to serve. I can tell you we have concocted our own recipe that we feel far outdoes those that carry a hefty price tag per pound. I think it was the Asiago shredded cheese that gave it a great kick.

The trip to The Old Alley Quilt Shop was a great break from the kitchen duty. Of course the long arm did a great job on yet another scrappy quilt. I am about ready to tackle an actual pattern quilt top as I am scrappied out for now. Of course when a pattern quilt top is worked on . . . it makes more scraps.

Just a few more items to take care of before I prop my feet up. Gotta love a day of planning for family.
