Pharmaceutical Companies Promote Sleeping Sickness |

Mary In Your Kitchen - Thanksgiving Planning |
I first shared this planning schedule with you in 2004 and I heard from quite a few people who used this schedule and shopping list for a successful Thanksgiving last year. Since I plan to use this same schedule, and mostly the same menu, myself again this year I am including it in this 2005 newsletter. This year I am adding the Squash Butter (newsletter October 2005) as a spread for the rolls. |
