I love anything out of a crockpot that can be kept warm yet safely dipped into. This year, as non-hosts, I am looking forward to viewing the Thanksgiving Day Parade from the couch, instead of the kitchen. For 15 minutes anyway:). There is always some kind of Thanksgiving work to be done. And I am grateful for that.

You could make a best guess and turn it into something that the family would appreciate. <br />The yarn stash? I’m looking at my own with different eyes now. As much as I have, I don’t think it’s as much as this friend left behind. <br />One of the friends who came to help said at the beginning “we can’t save every puppy in the pound.” That kept us from being overwhelmed. We did the best we could. And it was okay that we couldn’t save every bit of yarn and knitting.

A beloved friend who died mid-project (what do I do with a beautifully gartered stitch square that might have been a scarf…or … who knows?) and how do I destash a roomful of yarn that I do not want to part with? But can’t burden my daughter with? Why yes, I do know some knitters…there you go! Thanks so much!

In my small town smoked mozzarella isn’t always available. So I use regular mozzarella. And then we added fresh spinach. <br />Both versions are good. I usually make the newer one now. <br />It’s in the recipe index as “baked bowties w/ tomatoes & mozzarella.” Come to think of it I use penne pasta most times now. The grandchildren like that shape.
