"last minute shopping" news and stories

For the last couple of days, the thought keeps flitting through my head, "I need to remember to buy decaf coffee!" You see, I'm hosting the Thursday installment of my family's Thanksgiving (we're gathering again on Saturday with a slightly expanded group) and I know that several of my relatives enjoy a cup of coffee to go along with dessert at the end of the meal. However, I tend to only keep regular coffee* around and for some people, caffeine at 6 or 7 pm is a deadly.

I've also got fresh ginger, rosemary and buttermilk on my last minute shopping list and plan to hit Reading Terminal Market this afternoon so that I can pick them up. How about the rest of you. Anyone else making one final run to the store today for tomorrow's meal?

*On the caffeinated side of things, I've got Starbucks Thanksgiving blend, which is wonderfully aromatic, smooth and goes perfectly with pumpkin pie.
