Today's The Day!!!

Okay...so it's exactly 9:22am on Thursday, November 15. Yesterday evening we began our cooking venture. We started with a trip to Carrefour (our closest thing to Wal-Mart). But we couldn't proceed on an empty stomach so we stopped at the "Fast Food" place for some pierogi!



















After about an hour or less in Carrefour (we went in on a mission!) we came out with all the things we needed to get on the stick! So we started with the pumpkin roll and the process went a little something like this:




















And so we have 2 finished pumpkin rolls! (They'll be much prettier when they're cut! :) We also made two batches of pecan pralines....yyuuummm!!!

Today, we tackle the bird & the rest! Here's how it looks...

The Menu:
Hot Apple Cider
Cream Cheese Ham & Garlic Dip w/ Crackers
Deviled Eggs
Fruit Salad
Turkey & Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Baked Corn
Cornbread & Whitebread (We only have one package of cornbread mix *lol*)
Pralines
Pumpkin Roll!


We've got the roll & the pralines done...which means we have a heck of a lot more to do! PLUS clean our flat!

Last night, we got several emails in a row of people who are definitely coming. So where we thought we had 16...we KNOW of 23.....23 students who are DEFINITELY coming! Not to mention the 7 that "may" come and WHO KNOWS if students will show up without letting us know! So that's potentially 30....30 students in our one room flat!

Holy cow. I've gotta get busy!
