Well we've been busy making some of the stuff in advance for tomorrow, stuffing is made, just needs to be stuffed into the bird. I've got a ham marinating in crushed pineapple, peach mango orange juice, and mango chutney. The string bean casserole is ready to go, as is the baked corn casserole. The bird has been defrosting since Monday. We will have to cook and mash 10# of potatoes tomorrow, but that's no big deal. One of our guests is bringing a Waldorf Salad, my brother in-law is bringing baked squash, and my mother in-law is supplying fresh baked pies. Our Brazilian connection (our son's girlfriend's mother) is bringing a Brazilian dish.:yumyum: :yumyum: Looks like we're ready to get stuffed!!

 

im making instant mash potatoes and frozen corn

 

uhh nothing here but the bird is almost defrosted just gonna leave it braised in salt and some other stuff. i'm helping momout this year with a emeril recipe. she isnt the best cook with poltury.

 

I am debating spending the day playing football then:

1. staying local for a free meal with a friends ( girl ) mom's client as her quasi-date... free turkey dinner. ( might have a good time, but more formal )

-or-

2. driving 90mins to this other girls place, eating food with her and 3 friends. then definatly partying. ( 95% good time, casual then drinking )

 

Aren't you celebrating Thanksgiving a little late??Or are you taking advantage of some Americans??

 

2nd Tuesday of October doesnt get any love down here... i milk this for what its worth.

I tell people I cant miss TWO Thanksgivings!

 

lets see some pics of your son's gf and her mother haaha jk

anyways, it sounds like a real feast. i tried to help my mom cook one year but i was screwing everything up. she told me to leave it to her to cook from now on h:
