I have so much cooking to do, I'm a little overwhelmed at the prospect of starting. We have to have the following cooked, stored and delivered to Temple, TX by noon tomorrow:
1 turkey
2 x stuffing (one regular herbed, one
oyster/bacon stuffing)
1 pan sweet potato casserole
1 pan brussel sprouts
1 giant pan green bean casserole
Enough for 13 people.
Plus I've been gathering up bingo prizes (family tradition, football for the guys, gambling for the ladies) like mad and stressing about should've-shopped-for-by-now birthday gifts (mom, sister), etc.
I'm so excited about it, though stress be damned. My in-laws are going to celebrate their first-ever Thanksgiving with us and my niece's boyfriend is back from Iraq and will be coming along as well. The whole family is here (Rachel flew in last night) and since I missed Christmas last year, this holiday gathering is a long time coming.
Tell me about your Turkey Day traditions!
