My sista-in-law, Holli's big day is Wednesday and my dear, father, Rich's is on Turkey Day on Thursday.
Brian and I are heading to Sanger sometime in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Not sure when the hubby will get off of work. All depends on if the day shift guys will leave early so Brian can go in and finish up before his normal 6AM finish time. The Sanger folks might need to prop our heads up at the dinner table cuz either Brian or I will be tired (if we leave at Midnight I will sleep in the car and if we leave at 6am Brian will sleep in the car).
I got my big pants ready and I can't wait to eat all of my Sanger meals. In preparation for the various family feasts, Brian and I baked and baked and baked yesterday. Thank you to all the people who contributed to our wedding loot and gave us the most amazing and totally awesome bake ware. I must say that kitchen mixer is a little piece of heaven. I am definitely using that puppy over and over again.
We made 1 gigantic pumpkin pie that was supposed to be two pies. That one has Jamaican Rum in it and two strawberry-rhubarb pies. My Brian loves his pies and when I told him about the strawberry-rhubarb pies I'd get back in Michigan he asked me to make one. So Sunday we set out to buy rhubarb and the only place that had it was Whole Foods. For those of you who don't know what rhubarb looks like, it's like a red celery stick. We got 4 sticks and were amazed to find it cost $18.00. That is like $4.50 a stick!!! Can you believe that???!!!oxo!!! I was already 2 quarts of strawberries in so I was forced to buy the rhubarb!! Anyhoo, I guess you can get anything you want but you just have to pay for it. Those Sanger folks better like our freaking expensive pies or politely ignore me at dinner. hehehe!
Anyway, this weekend was spent cleaning up our garage. When we moved in we just dumped everything in the garage. Now you can actually find stuff and maneuver around the area. It's sooooo nice! When we were done with baking-a-polooza yesterday we ended up making a pizza pie for dinner. It's the food network at the Buller house.
Happy Turkey Day everyone and safe travels!
