Dinner is done and everything was delicious.     Lots and lots of leftovers so I guess I will have a few days off in the kitchen.    Everything is cleaned up, including my table cloth which is washed and put away til next year.   I usually don&#39;t worry about that but as we were getting up from the table Jim reached over to grab a platter to take to the kitchen and knocked over a huge bottle of red wine.    I threw the cloth right into the wash and it all came out.    I bought that cloth in St. Maarten last year so I told him if the stain didn&#39;t come out he would owe me a trip there before our next family dinner.   Darn that stain came right out.    lol <br /><br />Cheryl - glad to hear the crock pot stuffing was a hit.   I think I will definately try that next year as I get a bit crazy over getting that last little bit of stuffing out of the turkey so I don&#39;t poison anyone later on.    <br /><br />Jackie - glad to hear the brine worked out well also.   I&#39;ll also add that to my recipe box for future reference.<br /><br />Right now plans are that Deb &amp; I will hit the mall at 5AM.  Of course it depends on Michael getting home from work in time to watch the kids.   We generally leave Jim in charge, but he has to work tomorrow and Saturday for his partner.   <br /><br />If I&#39;m not here to start the dock in the AM I will catch up later  in the day IF I survive Black Friday shopping with Deb.   <br /><br />Time to go put my feet up and fall asleep in front of the TV.    I wanted to start on the Christmas decorations but I&#39;m too tired.   I did get all the Thanksgiving things taken down and put away though.   <br /><br />Hope everyone had a great day.
