Ham as it came from the oven. |
Turkey breast as it came from the oven. |
So.....yesterday I roasted the turkey and baked the ham, both at the same time I might add! I wrapped them in large plastic bags after cooling and today I carve them and place them into large covered casseroles to heat back up tomorrow. The stock was strained and saved for the gravy.
I have thawed the pie dough that I made ahead and froze to roll out and bake the pies this evening. Today I will clean and chop all of the vegetables for tomorrow. This includes dicing the celery and onions for the stuffing or dressing, whichever you call it. The potatoes will be peeled and left covered with water, ready to go! Preparing the vegetables and dip. Making the fruit salad and cranberry sauce. After that I set the table and bring up extra ice to have ready in the kitchen freezer.
Kate and perhaps Emily are coming this afternoon to make cookies for Thanksgiving! Now let me wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving too!

Happy T-day to you too! We too try to make ahead what we can so our day is not spent cooking, but spent eating with the ones we love!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your family Diane. I have never seen meat of any description carved at the table, I'm usually the one carving in the kitchen. I then lay it all out as a buffet, two many to serve and not enough room on the table for all the dishes. Leave room for Christmas, Best wishes Wendy
