Time is Running Out!!
Miss Ginger wants you ALL to be there to help her celebrate her next half centennial!!
Here's a Handy Site!
Printablepaper.net is a handy free site that allows one to download and print over 700 useful forms, grids, and templates. They have everything from attendance forms to shooting targets!! Miss Ginger has found the graph paper selection to be particularly useful for designing all types of patterns and sketches for sewing, quilting, and, of course, geometry! Boy G uses the 4-lined indexed graph paper to plan woodworking projects to the 1/4" detail!! And the perspective graph makes it easy for the two to confer and collaborate on room designs and other spatial layouts. Best part of all? You don't have to buy a whole pack of some obscure paper when you just need to plot one measly little polar graph!
There are scorekeeping forms for just about any sport or game one can imagine... teacher forms for all kinds of record keeping... music paper for exercising your inner Mozart... Really, everyone will find something useful! Check it out and leave a comment to let us know your favorite!!

Thanksgiving Etiquette!
Proper etiquette is a must at any civilized meal, even when said meal is of the "bring-a-pot" variety. If you are asked to bring something for you holiday meal this year, one can only hope that your hostess has been kind enough to give you specific instructions on how your offering can best compliment it cohorts on the Thanksgiving buffet. Keep this in mind, gracious hostesses: Marney has a lot to teach us all!
As you all know a fabulousThanksgiving Dinner does not make itself. I need to ask each of you to help by bringing something to complete the meal. I truly appreciate your offers to assist with the meal preparation.
Now, while I do have quite a sense of humor and joke around all the time, I COULD NOT BE MORE SERIOUS when I am providing you with your Thanksgiving instructions and orders. I am very particular, so please perform your task EXACTLY as I have requested and read your portion very carefully. If I ask you to bring your offering in a container that has a lid, bring your offering in a container WITH A LID, NOT ALUMINUM FOIL! If I ask you to bring a serving spoon for yourdish, BRING A SERVING SPOON, NOT A SOUP SPOON! And please do not forget anything.
All food that is to be cooked should already be prepared, bring it hot and ready to serve, warm or room temp. These are your ONLY THREE options. Anything meant to be served cold should, of course, already be cold.
HJB—Dinner wine
The Mike Byron Family
1. Turnips in a casserole with a lid and a serving spoon. Please do not fill the casserole all the way up to the top, it gets too messy. I know this may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but most of us hate turnips so don't feel like you a have to feed an army.
2. Two half gallons of ice cream, one must be VANILLA, I don't care what the other one is. No store brands please. I did see an ad this morning for Hagan Daz Peppermint Bark Ice Cream, yum!! (no pressure here, though).
3. Toppings for the ice cream.
4. A case of bottled water, NOT gallons, any brand is ok.
The Bob Byron Family
1. Green beans or asparagus (not both) in a casserole with a lid and a serving spoon. If you are making the green beans, please prepare FOUR pounds, if you are making asparagus please prepare FIVE pounds. It is up to you how you wish to prepare them, no soupy sauces, no cheese (you know how Mike is), a light sprinkling of toasted nuts, or pancetta, or some EVOO would be a nice way to jazz them up.
2. A case of beer of your choice (I have Coors Light and Corona) or a bottle of clos du bois chardonnay (you will have to let me know which you will bring prior to 11/22).
The Lisa Byron Chesterford Family
1. Lisa as a married woman you are now required to contribute at the adult level. You can bring an hors d’ouvres. A few helpful hints/suggestions. Keep it very light, and non-filling, NO COCKTAIL SAUCE, no beans of any kind. I think your best bet would be a platter of fresh veggies and dip. Not a huge platter mind you (i.e., not the plastic platter from the supermarket).
The Michelle Bobble Family
1. Stuffing in a casserole with a serving spoon. Please make the stuffing sans meat.
2. 2.5-3 qts. of mashed squash in a casserole with a lid and serving spoon
3. Proscuitto pin wheel - please stick to the recipe, no need to bring a plate.
4. A pie knife
The June Davis Family
1. 15 LBS of mashed potatoes in a casserole with a serving spoon. Please do not use the over-size blue serving dish you used last year. Because you are making such a large batch you can do one of two things: put half the mash in a regulation size casserole with lid and put the other half in a plasticcontainer and we can just replenish with that or use two regulation size casserole disheswith lids. Only one serving spoon is needed.
2. A bottle of clos du bois chardonnay
The Amy Misto Family (why do I even bother she will never read this)
1. A pumpkin pie in a pie dish(please use my silver palate recipe) no knife needed.
2. An apple pie in a pie dish, you can use your own recipe, no knife needed.
Looking forward to the 28th!!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear Ginger Snaps, and for gawd's sake, remember: a SOUP spoon is NOT to be used for SERVING! Learn it!
