Now Less Than One Week /Two Week Thanksgiving Warning Nov 2022
- Thread starter Ahorsesoul
- Start date
So when you're two weeks out, what's one to do? Order carpet for installation on the 16th, and all furniture must be moved out of the guest bedroom and the foyer and landings must be entirely cleared. AND you have a guest coming for the Thanksgiving holiday. I've just got to laugh and laugh and laugh at my timing.
Got to get a move on - so far I have corn and fixings for green bean casserole. Just can't seem to get in the groove with so much upheaval still in the house. Hoping that the last kitchen appointment is coming soon so I can really get in a better frame of mind and a move on.
We did that one year. Actually, it wasn't us ... the company had to delay a week. That holiday ... we ate at Cracker Barrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check dates on baking powder and soda please. Put your cranberry jelly/relish and black olives in the Refrig to chill. Just a little less things to remember. Make your gravy if you use a make-a-head gravy recipe.
I put all of the items I need for dinner on my WM pick up today. So it will all be "in stock" at home.
I will also pick up some napkins and paper plates today for desserts.
Just trying to figure out when I'll clean because our next two weeks are jam packed with work, parent teacher conference night, a musical at M's HS...ELF!, banquets and the day to day. I may have to take a Personal Day.

Pulled out my Thanksgiving shopping list and updated my WM
list.
list.
I laughed at getting the Christmas out before Thanksgiving. I love my Thanksgiving decorations.
I have two batches each of cranberry bread, stuffing and sweet potatoes made and frozen. I'll make and freeze two batches each of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes next week. I'll also shop around for best turkey prices since my shopping habits have changed again. I'll make pumpkin pie and baked apples the week of Thanksgiving.

Check your butter supply, and wash up and refill the salt and pepper shakers.
I am taking a cheeseball/crackers to my sisters and told her I would check later to see if she needs more vegetable dishes or desserts. We usually try to help each other fill in what is missing when we have get togethers.
I'll probably make my pecan and pumpkin pies in advance and freeze them.
So, I've been assigned my dishes to bring to DD and DSILs for Thanksgiving dinner. Green bean casserole (with a special ingredient) -- my DSIL insists that I bring it as it's his favorite, and I'm also bringing a pumpkin pie and a dutch apple pie, along with a container of whipped topping. DD said they got the turkey yesterday, and she's providin the stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cranberry sauce. DSIL's sister is bringing either sweet potatoes or brussels sprouts. My Mom is insisting that she bring something, so I told her she can carry one of the pies. Her response, "only if I can help make it." Fine by me!
Can you share? Or is it a secret, special ingredient?
I would love to see all of your Thanksgiving pictures. Diedra I think your list is very interesting.
The recipie I use calls for some soy. One year I was out of soy sauce, so I substituted terriyaki sauce and everyone loved it. I've continued with that slight variation ever since.
Smashed sweet potatoes sound good: https://www.officiallyglutenfree.com/smashed-sweet-potatoes/

Dh went to buy a fresh (unfrozen) turkey so I could get it deboned. It was frozen solid. I do not have a place to de-thaw a turkey. So Dh will try to return it since it was suppose to be unfrozen. Not a happy camper now. Thinking I might do Prime Rib instead. A lot less trouble.
Wow!! How cute and yummy are these pies!?!?
