In Over My Head?

also corn bread stuffing and the green beans or brocilli with silver almonds.

You can't have Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce.

Thanksgiving isn't Thanksgiving without stuffing!

How do you have Thanksgiving without cranberry sauce? I cannot stand the canned kind though and it only takes 5 minutes to make the fresh.

Yeah no leaving out stuffing either.

I'm with lilybug and Purple teddy bear you can't have a holiday without them!!

Are you making that all yourself or will you have some help?

Oh, not that will be all me. I love to cook and bake, so it is fun for me. I will make the appetizers the night before and the pies early in the morning of Thanksgiving and the rest while the turkey is cooking.

I love to cook and bake also. My grandmother was a caterer so it is natural for me to make big meals. Have fun cooking and baking=}

Well, since my mom broke her wrist I guess I get to do rolls too. I also decided to add a loaf of cranberry nut bread to the desert lineup.

Thank you for not pointing out that I said silvered and not slivered lol. Never had cornbread stuffing? I am going to have to save you some so you will not be missing out anymore.

Thanks:) That is greatly appreciated!

Huh? You never said silvered! This is what you put and I quote ...

Green beans or broccoli with slivered almonds

Someone said I did. Guess their eyes aren't what they should be, nor mine as when I looked at it to see if I did mess up I say it that way at first also... oops lol

No worries friend!

It is good that she has help so that she is overwhelmed about making the meal. I know that if I was making it for more then just a few I would ask for someone to make a dish or two but why bother with this amount? My family are cookers and bakers so we all tend to make more then we ever really need just in case. My grandmother also said "better to plan for 2 more then 2 less."

If you want to make the trek all the way to NY just for a meal by all means I will not stop you. I do not think it is worth all that traveling even if you are not much of a cook yourself though. Doggy bag for Wolfie it is

Thank you=} I do all the chopping up of vegetables, making the cornbread and all the other prep things the night before. I just could not make the cranberry sauce right before we sat down to eat. That is one thing my grandmother did and it was so much fun to watch. Yes, I am grown now but there is just something about doing that right before the food is served.

I know what you mean:)My grand-mother made the dinner roles just before we dug in.The smell of them hot from the oven and on a plate with the steam and melting butter coming towards the table got my tastebuds flowing,haha.I miss that!
Peanutjar:)

I am glad that you know what I am talking about but am sorry that you only have the memories.

That is what I thought also but I got some comment and odd looks so I wanted to check.

I see that you are planning on doing quite a bit the day before. I always try to do that so I won't be so tired when it comes time to serve the meal. I'm planning on putting my grandkids to work with some of it. we will be having 5 for dinner and since it will be their friends they can certianly help. I will have trouble peeling the potatoes so they get to do that for me.

It is the only way no matter how many I am cooking for. It is one of the "tricks" my grand mother taught all of us along the way of helping her with the things like peeling potatoes. Enjoy!

We eat the cooked cranberry sauce, and it makes ahead really well. In fact, after last year, my brother has assigned me to bring that, plus whatever else I want to bring. We will have anywhere from twenty to thirty people. We do this every year.

Thanks Terry. I am actually looking forward to Thanksgiving myself. Do you think I could get away with saving the left overs for the jolly man's meal? lol

heheheheheh Well I dont know about that!LOL

Me either but I had to ask. hehe

I am so sorry to hear that. I would skip the turkey over the fresh cranberries though. I have never had a problem making them to everyones liking.
