Is what our Ovens are going to be saying to our Turkeys tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! :rockon::ninja

Today is PrepDay as my boss was kind enough to give me time off :cool

Cleaning & shopping & chopping to be done..... So why am I sitting here?

Who has what to do still to get ready for tomorrows' Feast?

We've got everything that I can think of aside from pies. I can't decide if I want to make them from scratch again or if I want to cheat and buy them. I'm thinking I want to cheat lol.

 

[MoonOwl]

Cheating always works! Especially when those pies are BOGO!!!!!!!!!!!

One of these days I will try that. I hear good things from people. My mom and sister are bringing Dessert this year.

Tonight after my late class I'm making Red Lobster ripoff cheddar bay biscuits for the hell of it. I won't have anything to prep, because I just bought my parents Stove Top, and Sara Lee pies (hey, I'm effin busy and can't eat it anyway).

Tomorrow my dad will cook the turkey and I will make:
Russet/sweet mashed potatoes
Balsamic/mushroom green beans
I'm going to bake some apples
aaaand roast assorted potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, beets, onions and parsnips

I may have said this in another thread lol

Hope everything goes well for everyone, and they can relax!

I have to paint my hallway tonight while I make some of the side dishes for tomorrow...then wash the floors. I should be up till 12. All Ill have to do tomorrow is the turkey. If my aunt wants to come over, I'll have to also pick her up and get her home...Not too much more.

I would love to occupy a chair at the Swoofs table on eat up big day.:thumbup

Then there would be a move to occupy the nearest comfy lounge

 

[MoonOwl]

PS & Cod really need to work on their transporter........ That would be so cool to have you at our table

I had a dream my stuffing was dry and crappy. Let's hope it was just a dream and not a premonition.

Let the fun begin!!

I've heard good things about those Sara Lee pies anyway.

I've been occupying the kitchen all day and I'm not done yet! The benefit of having a family dinner for immediate family (those who live under my roof) is that I'll serve the meal when I'm good and ready! Ha!

Menu posted so JohnfromOKC can drool for a while while his gratification is delayed and he has no recourse. Eeeeheeheehee!

 

[Panacea]

My dad cooks the driest ass turkey ever on earth. He's a chef. It makes no sense.

Otherwise, all of the Panacea cooked food was amazing
I made half russet and half sweet mashed potatoes with greek yogurt...so good, they turned out so well I was in shock.
Otherwise the vegetables and balsamic green bean thing went fine.
And the cheddar bay biscuits were good!

I'm cooking some apple and pumpkin pies right now, and baking apples.

 

[CityGirl]

Sounds delicious, Panacea! Will you share your potato and greek yogurt recipe?
