It’s hard to believe, but that dreaded holiday season is lurking just around the corner. This week, Thanksgiving is going to happen and then it’s time to prepare for December and the Xmas madness that comes with it.
Well, let’s just focus on Thanksgiving for now. I like that holiday a lot better because there’s not much stress (especially since my sister Terry is preparing the meal!) and it’s a holiday where you just eat and drink and hang out.
I have one Thanksgiving tradition I faithfully follow every year: After the dinner is over and I come home, I make sure that my refrigerator is well-stocked with liquid refreshments and then I watch the best Thanksgiving movie ever made: Planes Trains & Automobiles.
If you’ve never seen it, do yourself and watch it this year and if you have, I’m sure you’re like me and you watch it every year around this time.
Below are six links to online articles about the movie and the last one is a link to the orginal trailer for the film and of course below that are the upcoming MBIP Coming Attractions!

MBIP Coming Attractions
Monday: There’s a new restaurant on Main Street that recently opened up and it’s called Loaded Mediterranean And More! and I went there for my Saturday night dinner. The food was so good and you can read all about it tomorrow.
Tuesday: I’m continuing to eat my way through my Keens Steakhouse Goldbelly box. One of the items they sent me was a package of four slices of bacon. You might think that might not sound like much, but these were giganzo strips of bacon. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!
Wednesday: I had lunch with a special guest star at Jack’s On Adams. It was a super fun afternoon and the food was marvelous, as always!
Thursday: Thursday is Thanksgiving, so I’ll have a quick holiday-themed post.

Saturday: Just like Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, we’re going back in time to spotlight something from Peoria’s past.
