And a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
Let's see... I live outside of the USofA and so shan't be actually having Thanksgiving until Sunday (my time, or Saturday USofA time). And so today, I have this on my list to do:
1. finish cleaning the house -- vacuum, clean kitchen, sweep front porch
2. make pie crusts -- one regular, one graham cracker (graham crackers are not available here so this is going to be a gingersnap one)
3. salt the turkey
4. make pink pickle juice for the deviled eggs
5. boil the eggs for deviled eggs
6. make the jalapeño cornbread for cornbread salad
7. chop & prep for tomorrow's pre-cooking (onions, celery,...)
8. make pretty ice ring for the punch
And that's it for today! Oh, all this is enjoyed with martinis & snacks, of course.
On it ;) It's evolved to be a tradition -- each Thanksgiving features a special martini for the prepping and cooking. This year? Rose martini And ohmygosh YUMmmmmeee!

Don't forget to turk the bastey.

WOW, That's a lot of work. I did stand in line for 1/2 of an hour yesterday at the pie shop to pick up pumpkin pies. So I can say I did something.
Pie is the most important part!
