Menu Plan Monday: Thanksgiving Week
I have much for which to be thankful this year. Not least of which is the ability to have a Thanksgiving week vacation from school, Rich's personal days which allow him to help us at home on Wednesday and our cleaning lady's coming Wednesday afternoon to scrub floors, dust, vacuum and toss all the junk we don't need. This week's menus are a little easier to figure out than most.
This is the first Thanksgiving in nine years that we aren't hosting our families. We are still hosting several other families, though, so our party will be about 19 people on Thanksgiving day. Please feel free to ask for any recipes.

Our neighbors are bringing hors-d'oeuvres to which we will be adding various olives. We will be serving a rose, a riesling and sparkling cider.
- Friday: Bring Your Leftovers Feast. We invite everyone we know to bring their leftovers and we start eating at 9:00 a.m. and stay until most of the food is gone, playing games and chatting. The godparents are also bringing some lamb roasts, so we'll cook those up.
- Saturday: Grilled Pizza and Salad
