Preparations for Thanksgiving

I've decided to do a small dinner for thanksgiving. I think I would be sad if I didn't do something. So I managed to track down some turkey breasts. I've also managed to find some pecans. Pecans are very expensive here. The cheapest I've managed to find them is 180 kr per kilo. I bought a kilo of them anyways. I've decided that this holiday deserves something nice. I'll want something nice after dealing with migrationverket on Thursday anyways. I've asked my mom for her recipe for rolls and how the heck to make mashed potatoes from scratch. I'll probably make some vegetables to go with dinner as well. Now I wonder if I can do dinner at the proper time (1 or 2 in the afternoon) or if I'll have to wait until 5 or 6 when people are off of work. We'll see!

I plan to try and mail my package with Christmas presents tomorrow. The only one I don't have a present for is my brother. Not a clue what to get him. Trying to get presents for around 17 people into a blue shipping box and weigh under 5 kilograms total is quite a lot of work! Especially working on a student budget. I think I've done pretty well though. I was originally planning to mail the box today, but I haven't finished wrapping everything yet.

Tonight, we will have a chicken casserole for dinner. Chicken, pasta, cheese, cream sauce, spices, celery, and maybe some freezer veggies. I'm trying to empty out the freezer some, but every time I take something out, I buy something new to put in. The fridge works the same way!
