Grandma and Nonno have arrived (yay!), and the joyous noise level here are reaching circus performance levels.  Wednesday afternoon we will be cooking up most of the side dishes and desserts for Thursday.  What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish?  I miss my grandmother's mashed potatoes, but I'll be making Uncle Mark's eggs and green beans dish.  And my inlaws make amaaaaaaazing stuffing.

Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
