With Thanksgiving less than a week away the reality of it all is starting to set in! I am really looking forward to seeing everyone. I am also really excited about the actually cooking of everything. Of course, Mark will be on hand to help. He is the turkey master. I have never known anyone to baste a turkey as much as he does. The last turkey he made actually squirted as he tried to carve it. While we all like a moist turkey I do not think it is good when you need a raincoat to eat it. Let's hope he does not overuse his new baster this year. I am also in search of a cute apron for him. If anyone knows where I can get something really funny please let me know. I guess I could just make one myself. I would just have to come up with something really clever...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The good news is that I have finally set a menu. I have also lined up a few people to bring some of the items. The menu is below - please let me know if I have forgotten anything.
- Turkey
- Ham
- Mashed Potatoes
- Green Bean Casserole
- Carrot Casserole
- Corn
- Stuffing
- Oyster stuffing (mom always made it, but I have no idea who would or will eat this. Who ever eats it is in charge of making it in the future)
- Salad
- Deviled Eggs
- Sweet Potatoes
- Cranberry Sauce
- Rolls
- Gravy
- Drinks
- Desserts (pumpkin pie, sugar cream pie, apple pie, peanut butter pie, butter cookies, persimmon cookies)

just call me the "MasterBaster"!
Oh, that is just wrong!!!!
MMMMmmm... that looks like a good menu, except for the oyster stuffing, which I also detest. My grandma makes it and she loves it. Poor Mike ate a big forkfull of it once before I had a chance to warn him! I thought he was going to cry. I ordered M. a "Kiss the Cook" apron online - I hope it gets here in time!!!
it will be an adventure like no other. does anyone have the poison control number in case we need it
