ReView: Cold Oven Pound Cake, Sweet Chopped Cole Slaw & Barbie's Thanksgiving 2021

Well here we are folks, the countdown to Turkey Day has begun and many are planning the trek to Grandma's house for the holiday! You might like to try making a Cold Oven Pound Cake to take along... This is the Nordicware Gingerbread House cake pan, still a favorite of mine:@)

I know most families have a Thanksgiving menu with must haves that can't be tinkered with... If you have some wiggle room and are looking for a very good side dish, this Sweet Chopped Cole Slaw did get very good reviews from my crowd:@) It's a little bit easier because the cabbage is rough chopped and not shredded, I also like the pretty colors for the holidays.

Barbie and Ken were excited to be hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year and when folks asked what they could bring... Barbie's response was, whatever, and whoever, you'd like to, thank you! This created quite an eclectic mix of good friends, great food, and it was a holiday to remember:@) While Barbie was busy basting the turkey, Ken greeted the guests as they arrived...
Notoriously early, Barbie's best friend Midge arrives with the centerpiece, some extra chairs, and to see how she can help in the kitchen.

The girls that live down the block did some baking, they brought apple pie and sugar cookies.

Cousin Rube has a fresh wreath and a bottle of homemade wine from the farm... Always welcome😎

The appys have finally arrived! A Crock Pot of meatballs. As Ken bends in to kiss her cheek hello... Yes folks, Ken really likes those meatballs!

Some already have their hands full, and had a fruit tray delivered this morning.

And finally... An old college buddy shows up unexpectedly. Well... ~Maybe~ Barbie invited him as a surprise for Ken😉

🦃Happy Thanksgiving Week Everyone-Enjoy:@)
