The Feast...

We are headed down to Puyallup this Thanksgiving Day to celebrate with my husband's family.   I have volunteered myself to make the mashed potatoes (no problem, I'm a pro), Lemon Pie (strange but the hubby loves it and can't stand merengue), a carrot cake (my idea, I am craving carrot cake) and dinner rolls.  I did my shopping yesterday... which would be the Saturday before Thanksgiving.... and decided that instead of taking the easy way out and buying a couple packages of bread or even a few frozen bread doughs, that I am going to make dinner rolls from scratch.   Am I being to overambitious?  Most likely.  Do I have a history of making good bread products?  That would be a big fat no. But I'm gonna give it a go.  I also have to take into consideration the fact that I am working Wednesday from 4:30pm to 9:30pm.   Oh the joys of retail.  So I have to figure out how to not only bake a pie, a cake and proof a crap load of dinner rolls... but also how I am going to cart it an hour and a half down to Mama Grace's house without any mishaps in the mini van.  I also should mention I am working at 3:45am on Black friday.... then heading to my mom's house that afternoon for our Thanksgiving - slash- famiy reunion....only to be back at work at 6:30 am on Saturday morning.  Pictures to follow, recipes may come as well.... gripes definetly on the way.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Word.
