I must make a list! *flails*



Sunday

Put turkey in fridge.


Tuesday

Make cranberry sauce.
Make turkey brine.


Wednesday

Put turkey in brine after melodramatic ewwww-ing over giblets.
Cook giblets for gravy.
Cook sausage, onion and mushrooms for stuffing. (Yes, even though it's not going in the bird, I will insist on calling it stuffing.) (And yes, celery can go to hell.)


Thursday

Turkey time!
Make stuffing.
Throw some sage butter on some corn.
Dump pre-made mashed potatoes into bowl. (What? They're refrigerated! Not instant!)
Make crescent rolls.
Make gravy.

You're so cute when you're stressed. :P

WOW. This Thanksgiving stuff looks like hard work.

Heh. I think my mom's starting to weird out about the fact that it's the first time I'm doing it all. I keep getting emails from her.

*chibiDoc sonics the giblets*

It's stuffing now matter where it is. Celery does not belong in stuffing. I still get in a pissing contest with my mother if raisins are involved.

Remember to add a bit of milk to the mashed potatoes- it makes them creamier, and helps them keep better in the fridge.

That would be handy!

Oh, EW!

I'm actually cheating - I'm getting refrigerated mashed potatoes in a tub. O:-)

Sorry I never got that Pumpkin Roll recipe to you. My mom never emailed it to me and she comes tomorrow, so that means I can't get online. After all I told her I needed the recipe for a coworker. *sigh*

That's okay. There's always Christmas. Or next year.

**grin** I remember the first time I hosted Thanksgiving after my son was born...not only did I have a list like yours, but I actually did a schedule for the whole day up to dinnertime so I'd make sure to get everything done on time!

It's going to be a little strange this year...just the three of us, so we're going out to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

*restrains self from making a schedule for the day of*

I'm thinking the restaurant thing would be kinda strange, but it'll definitely save you the work.
