getting ready for the feast

Always the day before Turkey day I take the day off and COOK. I always have to work on Thanksgiving so I try to prepare as much as I can the day before. Baking,setting the table, and the cleaning before everyone arrives for Dinner on Thanksgiving.
This year Ta wants to have it at her house, and also have P family over too. The catch is she does not want to clean and cook the Turkey, so she ask me to. I told her
if I'm going to do it I'll also have to make the stuffing,because I can't make it without some yummy stuffing and that means the giblet gravy also. Today I will clean it and put it back in the fridge, make the stuffing, then get up early and stuff it.
I will also cook the giblets ( I always buy more to make it meaty ) Zesa is going to take it over in the morning and and pop it in the oven for me while I'm at work, then we will go over about 5:00 pm for dinner. I'm still going to make pies today,
so we will have some for the days after. Much less work this year. Zesa is going to make a pumpkin roll for us also, so the house should smell great today. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving... give thanks for the good things, time with FAMILY... good food, and yes maybe a little nap after the turkey...
