Dyk so I'm making:
Either chickpea patties (SO yummy) or field roast. It depends how much time I have, because the patties take longer to make.
Bruleed mashed sweet potatoes.
Green bean casserole
Rolls or biscuits. Rolls would be the frozen kind, biscuits would be from scratch.
My parents will have this disgusting jello salad that they LOVE. It has celery, cranberries, and a bunch of other nasty stuff in it. Blech!

Dyk so any ideas for my other veggie dish? Last year I did roasted brussel sprouts.

Dyk I'm thinking and apple pie for dessert. I can use the ww crust from wholly wholesome (love these), and then do a crumb topping. That would be much healthier than my pumpkin cheesecake.

dyk, there IS such a thing

dyk, it's more of a lease to own, but that's the idea - your "rent" (or a portion) goes towards the purchase of the house

dyk, if they've tried to sell before and have resorted to renting it, it might be an option

dyk, I have no clue about the technical details though - but it might be worth exploring

Dyk we haven't heard anything from Pete's parents about thanksgiving. That's normal for his dad (who we only hear from every 3 months or so), but we always see his Mom's side of the family for thanksgiving.

Dyk usually we do that in the early afternoon, and then dinner with my family.

Dyk really??? That would be awesome. I guess this is their 5th time listing it, and its been vacant now for a few months at least.

dyk, do you want to go kind of sweet? There's a roasted veggie with maple syrup (I think) in Veganimicon that was really good...can't remember the name & I'm ticked into bed

dyk, how about a corn casserole?

Dyk sometimes it's hard living with my mom because she struggles with depression. She has for most of her life, but is currently not managing it.

Dyk so she has her down days, which can be triggered by something that I think is ridiculous, or nothing at all.

Dyk it's just hard living with someone who's so up and down.

dyk, I bet this would be a good idea

dyk, I *think* the general concept is that they would maintain liability of the mortgage, but you would slowly be buying into it or something.

dyk, my mom would know more, but I somehow doubt that she'd appreciate a call about lease to own at 12:30 am

Dyk I'll look into it more tomorrow.

Dyk the thought of actually owning something is kind of scary!

dyk, I did something special today
