One down

Well the pumpkin pie is made, cooled and out on the back porch. I got my Lock& Lock pie keeper today and it is very cool. I especially like the insert with handles to lift the pie! It is K46681 if you are interested. It feels good to have one dish ready to go. Happy Thanksgiving !🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧

Well so far I've made 1 of 3 Not yo mammas banana puddings and my Turkey is thawed and now in a pot with brine solution in the fridge. Thawing out that 23 lb Turkey was a all day adventure which started Saturday.

Yes 23 lbs ! My son (bless his heart) told me not to worry about buying the Turkey, he would buy it and bring it over. He didn't say it would be that big !

There's going to be plenty of left overs for everyone to take home for another meal ! Yes that banana pudding is sooo good !

@QVCkitty1 we both have gotton off to a good start ! Happy Thanksgiving to you both

I cooked on Monday. We ate at 3 pm, and plates made for a few people. I hope I get my lock and lock large divided containers back. What we don't eat today will go in the freezer. We are traveling tomorrow.

@JeanLouiseFinch I hope you enjoy your time in NYC. Have fun!

I'll be doing my cutting and chopping of the potatoes, carrots and turnips today. The stuffing is made and wrapped up tightly in the coldest part of the frig along with the fresh turkey. I'll be ready to go early in the morning! We are planning on a 1:30-2:00 meal so everything needs to be going early. Luckily DD is making dessert so I don't have to deal with that part. Enjoy everyone

@LindaSal Can I come to your house just for the turnips?

I'm the only one that likes them and haven't had them since my mom passed away.

@CelticCrafter Why of course!

I've been cleaning house and will finish today--can't do it all in one day anymore! We "might" have one guest, otherwise it'll just be DH & me, but we always make a traditional Thanksgiving for ourselves anyway--i'm not cooking anymore than normal just because of one "maybe" guest. I say maybe, because he's a bit of a flake (though a nice enough guy). He accepted the invitation 10 days ago, and DH will text him a reminder today. So we'll see! We're eating at the designated time, whether he's there or not, lol!

Anyway, turkey will go in the oven soon and gravy will be made a little later today. I'll also put together the green bean casserole--except for the onion rings--and stick it in the fridge to cook tomorrow. Pies will be baked in the morning. Dressing will go in the oven shortly before dinnertime.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I found a small turkey (13 pounds) for just me!!

I will be sharing it with my feral cats f ( I don't care for white meat...I'll eat some, but share the rest).

88 cents a pound at local Walmart last week, frozen.

I just got back from Walmart....here in NW corner or PA...we may or may not have lake effect and regular snow for maybe tomorrow thru next Wednesday so I wanted to be sure I had enough so I don't have to leave the house!!!

There were very few folks there but stockers when I got there around 745 am, but it was filling up by time I left...

I hope they're wrong about the weather, for those who have to travel....many times they predict inches of rain and we get a few drops ( hmmmm....maybe that's why we're in droughtish conditions!!) I call it "imaginary" rain.

I hope we have imaginary lake effect snow...but if not....snowthrower is ready and I'm retired and don't HAVE to go out!!

I heard this morning in Erie, PA there's a six hour wait at the one tire shop to have snow tires put on.

The SUN is out today !!! At first I didn'tknow what that light in the sky was...been so gloomy here lately...then I remembered!!! The quality of the sunlight is SO pretty this time of year...

Happy T Day....sounds like everyone's getting a good head start!

@CelticCrafter , Why not fix some just for you ? It will be a nice memory of your mom, and you are worth it !

I have made the cranberry orange relish so far. That's not much of a head start, but I have more planned for this afternoon. The rest will be tomorrow. We don't start the festivities until around three so I will have time.

Working on my table setting theme. I change it up each year. My colors this year are going to be taupe, gold and cobalt.

Cutting the carrots and Potatoes tonight and keeping them covered in water in the back hall where they will be nice and cool and ready to go when I want them tomorow.

Cider and wine bottles all in the fridge.

Next up is setting the table.

HOPE EVERYONE IS On SCHEDULE ( Or nearly so )!

Opened up the Butterball turkey breast roast. The gravy packet is larger than the roast! Hmm....

Re: One down

branny — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 08:34:56 GMT

I purchased and cooked the same 3lb. Butterball. I seasoned it up. It was good. I was happy with it. I usually ruin the big bird and this year I chose this little one after watching you tube videos. Just me and my hubby. had left overs. I did not use that gravy packet that came with the roast. Made my own Mc cormick brown gravy. Easy his year.
