Wednesday -- Final

The Jambalaya was fabulous!!! And could not have been made without Miranda's help -- thanks Mandy!! In between Jambalaya was also made pumpkin roll. It never ceases to amaze me that I can bake a cake -- roll it up -- unroll it -- fill it with frosting -- and roll it back up again -- I get nervous every time!! Miranda on the other hand is unfazed about it -- she just expects it to work -- because it always has!!

Pumpkin roll is one of our favorite Thanksgiving treats. Dennis informed me that it can also be frozen and kept for weeks at a time -- who knew!!

While making the Jambalaya -- the kitchen was so full of spices and smells wit was a little difficult to breathe. I was nervous that I had gone overboard of the seasoning again -- but no worries -- it was wonderful!!! Spicy -- but not overly so -- and great with bread and a glass of wine!!

After dinner we watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert -- it was awesome!!! Very enjoyable and nice to relax for a bit.

Now I have just finished the Bing Cherry Jello -- and the cranberries. I used orange juice, brown sugar, and dried cherries in the cranberries this year -- yum!! The cinnamon roll dough it prepping in the bread maker -- need to turn those into cinnamon rolls before bed.

Goodnight for now -- more on Thanksgiving!!!

  1. I have a killer recipe for authentic red beans and rice if you ever want to brave it.

  2. My family does not truly love beans -- they more tolerate them. But I would certainly like to try it!!
