Thanksgiving Preparations Underway


I've been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and I bet you have too.  I'm trying to get a lot of the things done and either frozen or in the case of cookies, in tins. 

It's hustle and bustle for sure.
I have all of my Thanksgiving meal shopping done!  YAY

Our meal will be have a huge selection of food so that everyone can find something they like.

I will be taking some pictures and posting as I start cooking. 

The noodles were made yesterday and dried.  I always put mine in the freezer just for safety sake in case a single noodle didn't get dried out all the way.  These will be popped into boiling broth on the big day.

Here's a shrimp appetizer recipe in case you need just one more appetizer to serve on the big day:

Southern Style Shrimp Appetizer

1 bag shrimp and crab boil  (I actually use a can of old bay seasoning which I buy at Dollar General)
2 cans of beer or 1 1/2 cups of water
1 Tablespoon sirracha sauce or hot sauce
1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons lime or lemon juice
4 to 5 pounds of medium shrimp - shelled and deveined
1/2 cup unsalted butter or margarine

Bring crab/shrimp boil mix and all ingredients from the beer through lime/lemon juice to a boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.  Put shrimp in a big lightly sprayed casserole dish and pour the boiled liquid over them and then spoon melted butter over all.  Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes.  Stir at least two times.
