Just remember . . . it's about the people. <br /><br />Do you remember the year we had it at our house and the coil in the oven melted in 2 pieces on Monday before Thanksgiving. On Wednesday night before the big day, Dad and Grandpa tore the built-in oven out of the wall and installed a new one. They didn't finish until about 11 p.m. It was a GREAT Thanksgiving, too. :-)Oma Froehlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382703983985472142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36725499.post-54906476496765737252009-11-14T08:52:09.384-05:002009-11-14T08:52:09.384-05:00Definitely plan on buying and thawing the turkey a...Definitely plan on buying and thawing the turkey ahead of time. I always feel like it takes more time to thaw than they say, too.<br /><br />As you know, Target's goal and ALL company's goal is essentially to make us (the consumer) not content with what we have and convinced we need to buy more! Obviously that was an incredibly effective commercial... Do you really NEED 15 matching plates, though? ;-)<br />I love this post. It shows the kind of thought process us girls go through when hosting or doing anything new. Sometimes I think (some) guys think Thanksgiving food and all works are magical and just throw themselves together. <br /><br />Good luck figuring this stuff out. Don't panic, though! It will be great and by that I mean, your family will come and food will be had. All the other stuff is just bonus! :-)Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085726072575634607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36725499.post-29863820675666516342009-11-14T05:38:10.940-05:002009-11-14T05:38:10.940-05:00You'll do great!

It feels really good to serve and know you've gotten Thanksgiving together. At least you'll have your mom there to help :)<br /><br />I suggest the Reynold's roasting bag for the turkey. No basting, and always a moist yummy turkey at the end.<br /><br />Good luck!Gisellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663692701370471998noreply@blogger.com
