griz, if flu hasn't been a problem for you over the years don't bother. Frankly, the hype over H1N1 is a crock of kimchee.
Hope everyone is staying healthy!
So far Jon and I have avoided getting sick this year. Swine flu is all over the county we live in now. The doctors are not even testing for it unless you are very ill. Jon and I use hand sanitizer when ever we have been anywhere. I have a bottle of it in my purse and one in the car. Right now that is about the best we can do. Cannot hide in your homes. My sis and her kids have had a bad cold. My sis is still pretty sick but the kids have pretty much recovered. I remember when she was a kid and in school. Everything that was going around at school she would catch and bring home to me. Now her kids are doing the same thing to her.
Im making her a pot of soup tonight. Her hubby is gonna come get it and caramel apples I made for her and the kids tomorrow evening.

So far I'm healthy as a horse, janie. Like you- I hope everyone else is too.
I've been elected to do a Thanksgiving meal at my small place for a large group of friends, so I've started gradually picking items up for the menu. The only thing I dislike is having to make a trip to the market to purchase a car-load of stuff in a single trip and then hauling everything inside. So, last week I picked up stuff for green bean casserole and an orange/cream cheese jello mold. Gradually over the weeks I'll cross another few things off my lengthy list each payday. Hopefully by the week before Thanksgiving all I'll have left to get is any fresh produce needed! Are you all giving any thoughts to the holidays yet- or it it too soon?

I bet your dinner will be cozy and delish! A home be it big or small where the cook is someone like you who prepares the meal with love is the most perfect spot to eat.
I actually envy you when it comes to meal planning. I get overwhelmed and try and make to much to try and appeal to all of the picky eaters in Jons family.
I have been tossing around some ideas for the holidays. I hope Jon's brothers wife does Thansgiving at their house this year like they normally do. Last year she had just had a baby so I made the meal. Jons Dad goes to their house to eat Thanksgiving and I make dinner at home for Jon and I. I usually make lamb, duck, turkey or 2 small cornish hens and some sides and what ever Jon wants for dessert. His Mom will have a Thanksgiving dinner in there somewhere.
My brothers wife will be having her baby a few weeks before Thanksgiving so I will make his turkey and all for him to pick up.
Christmas I do all of the cooking for about 16 people for Jons Dads family dinner.

My brother swears by Vitimin D for the Flu. He never even gets a cold since he started taking it a few years ago. Before that he caught everything in sight. So I started taking V D every day now. I have Asthma and trying to stay away from sick ones. Hard to do. My sister inlaw and her three kids all had the swine flu two weeks ago.I won't be taking the Vaccine....took one one time and made me sooo sick.Hoping for the best.It irritates me to no end when people who are sick cough in your face with no concern.
