Have you started your T-Day cooking yet?

I started today with an Oreo crust cheesecake and now I have to look at it until Thursday!

That came out beautifully @house_cat and looks delicious! You're going to have to show some real self control!!

I haven't started any of my cooking yet.

Nope. It's just the two of us and we don't go all out. Bird, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes and a veggie. I will make a cherry crumble Thursday morning but that's it for the baking.

Not me. Just the bird thawing for Thursday, bought a small one for the 3 of us.

DD and I both have pneumonia and are considered contagious as long as we're running fever and we both are.

I've only prepped the veggies and bread for the dressing and confirmed I have all the ingredients for what I am making. My cooking starts tomorrow.

We have set up the tables and I've laid out the tables with placemats, center arrangement, yadda yadda. Won't set table until Thursday.

Oh you poor thing. I've had pneumonia twice and it kicked my backside both times. Weak, feverish, thought I was going to cough to death. Can't imagine trying to cook anything. Hope you and your dd get better soon.

@house_cat

I'm going to need your address. That looks "dangerous" and must be tested for safety reasons. I will bring my own fork...

@house_cat You'd better sample a sliver. After all, you wouldn't want to poison anyone.

Here's my bird (tee hee!): Apologies to posters who have seen this, but newer posters haven't, LOL! BTW, Men love it

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Rub butter or oil over the skin of the turkey until it is completely

coated.

Take a knife and gently separate the skin from the breast meat.

Slide lemon halves under the skin with the peel side up. This way the

Juice from the lemon will coat the breast.

Season skin of turkey to

your preference, place sprig of rosemary into the chicken.

Cover and place in oven for 3-4.5 hours. Remove cover and continue

to roast until juices run clear, basting every 15-20 minutes depending

on the size of the bird.

If you've followed these steps correctly, your turkey should look like

the one in the picture.

@ECBG

Grabbing my fork for those green beans! Not green bean casserole, right?

I don't do casserole anything!

ETA: If you are making GB casserole, I'll arrive before the other stuff gets mixed in, I just love the taste of fresh green beans, YUM!

What springform pan did you use that has such high sides. Wow!

I made dressing on Saturday. Won't be a big deal to cook 2 breasts, bake dressing, make gravy, and open cans of jellied cranberry sauce on Thursday.

We are having a quiet TG at home. Made the mistake of making a pumpkin pie today. My SO, he ate a couples pieces. Save me one piece please. 🤣

It’s a low key holiday this year. Cornish hens, mashed potatoes, corn casserole and fresh green beans. Relish tray. Easy meal. And any pie if there is some left. I may make an apple or cherry crisp tomorrow.

@house_cat Beautiful! It wouldn’t be spared for two days here. I’m not a big dessert lover, but I need a piece of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving.
