Thanksgiving Prep Because I Am OCD about Lists…

Anytime I have something coming up that involved other people I get a bit insane.  Holiday dinners are the worst even though I enjoy the time the most.  I have decided to abandon my normal rice laden Cajun holiday extravaganza in deference to my white boy husband.  Now, I am not doing damn mashed potatoes, [...]
