2. How did you learn to cook? If you have children did you teach or encourage them to cook? Do you like to follow a recipe or is your cooking style more 'let's wing it'.
By watching my mom and later on, watching cooking shows...love Food Network...sometimes even grabbed magazines with recipes...in recent years, it has been all about Pinterest! I have sooo many recipes pinned
I like using recipes as guidelines...not following them perfectly...my girls have watched me but haven't slowed down enough to truly learn...I hope they eventually want to and do!
3. Last time you bit off more than you could chew? Elaborate.
I would say volunteering or actually being "voluntold" to take on the role of Cheer Mom this year (I share the role with my friend Danielle)...it has been fun, don't get me wrong...but it was a lot during September/Blackout Month.
4. When did you last say 'the more the merrier' and mean it?
As I was planning our Thanksgiving Eve guest list..."the more the merrier" has turned into about 100 people- ha!

6. Insert your own random thought here.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving however you are celebrating!
You need a ¨full plate¨ crown because you´re the queen of the full plate- don´t know how you do it but do it you do and always so stylishly to boot. 100 guests- I cannot imagine- all of that on top of your already full plate!! Having twenty people over seems like a large number to me. Seriously impressed and looking forward to pics/deets. Love your acrostic. Have a great day, friend!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind- the 100 people is our casual night- buffet style- people just pick- it is more about catching up with everyone and having some music- this year we got a DJ so there best be dancing- ha!! You are a wonderful hostess my friend :)
DeleteI wish we could all join you for your fun Thanksgiving Eve night! That will be a full house, but sounds fun! You seem to manage everything so well and always with a smile! Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving with your people!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marilyn! You are welcome anytime :)
DeleteI agree with Maria! I don’t know how you do it all. I’m too much of an introvert. 🫣🤣 we were lucky with our girls that the college near where we lived had an amazing nursing program which they both graduated from. I think we o my looked at 2. Other schools haha! Can’t wait to hear who Diana chooses! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cara- you too- enjoy!
Delete100 people ...wow! That sounds like so much fun. Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Tanya!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I don't even remember learning to cook. I know I started off slowly as I was in charge of getting dinner started back when I was in middle school or so and then my mom would take over and finish when she got home from work and eventually she just stopped taking over and I finished the whole meal. I didn't really branch out to trying new recipes until I got a house of my own though.
ReplyDeleteI really started cooking seriously when I had my own home too!
DeleteI don't know how you find the time to do everything that you do! No wonder you feel like your plate is overflowing! Good on your being a Cheer Mom, the young ladies are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Thank you Kim- Happy Thanksgiving!
