Bill Nye the SCIENCE Guy.

So, i hold in my hand two miraculous tickets to BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY @ UNT <3. I was way obsessed with him as a kid, that and Wishbone. Could not get enough of PBS or whatever channel he was on...

I cant wait for thanksgiving. I am dying waiting for it, holiday from school and work AND I get to see my family-- whom I havn't seen in awhile. Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, not to mention Mother Brother and Sister :).

I was asked to cook for thanksgiving, and thanks to the lovely Ms. Ree over at The Pioneer Woman I know some wonderful thanksgiving recipes. Seriously, check her out, that chocolate pie recipe is divine. Beyond that, I just don't know if I want to work that hard with other people who are less enthusiastic or perfectionistic about cooking than me, and, I don't like most thanksgiving food. I find it mostly bland or tasteless, filling for the sake of being filling, and who ever thought of green bean casserole as a GOOD idea...or that casserole with peas that looks like snot.

I like cranberries, especially when they are presented properly, and potatoes, not sweet potatoes, are yums..i also eat stuffing occasionally. But thats about it, I dont like turkey or sweet potatoes, or about a thousand ways most thanksgiving foods are presented. I like pecan pie for dessert but my family doesnt believe in hand making pies and things, they order them from a local bakery. So really, thanksgiving with family isnt about food, its just about family for me, and two days is just about the perfect amount of time to spend with them.
