Mark's sister, who was hosting the family Thanksgiving, got very sick yesterday and was at the ER for much of the day where they think it might be related to the Romaine lettuce e-coli issue. So she's on a a bunch of drugs and she had to toss all the food she handled.
Thus we are making do with stuff in the freezer or a quick trip to the grocery store before they close. My assignment was a bread basket and cranberry sauce. So we have homemade cranberry orange bread and pumpkin bread and corn bread and crusty white bread perfect for leftover turkey sandwiches. Just no turkey or dressing or gravy.
A good story to tell on future holidays and we're just glad she's OK. When someone tells you they just got home from the ER, that is a pretty scary phone call.
Best wishes to your sister-in-law for quick and complete recovery from the outbreak, with a virtual hug for Mark. Those breads sound like just the thing to lift up a family weathering a blow.
