Preparing for Thanksgiving – Four Days to Go

It’s creeping up on us quickly! Just four more days!

Last night I finalized the menu. We will be using our standard menu; the same one that I posted here in 2005, except with a couple additions.

Joining our traditional menu of turkey, yeast rolls (with butter, preserves, and apple butter), sage cornbread stuffing, Alabama sweet potato casserole, noodles, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, and sugar cream pie, will be Audrey’s favorite rolls, green bean casserole (also Audrey’s idea), some more spice cake like Audrey made last week (Mmmmm!), and a pumpkin cheesecake.

So, last night I finalized the menu and made the shopping list. Today the children and Rob are cleaning out both refrigerators and the freezer in preparation, and later, we will head to the stores to buy the groceries that we don’t already have on hand, and the supplies for our thankful tree.

Thanksgiving prep will take a short break tomorrow, as we celebrate Rob’s 41st (yes, honey, you are now 40-”something”).

Please share. How is your preparation going? What delectable dishes will be gracing your table this year?

Not doing much really; it will just be us. With everyone’s food allergies & texture issues, etc & lack of my time, it will be very simple & easy.

Yours sounds VERY yummy!

My contribution will be one or two pumpkin pies. Easy-peasy, huh?

Wow, sounds delicious. I have really been enjoying the recipes you´ve posted lately, though we haven´t had much of a chance to make any yet since the kitchen is so new.

We don´t celebrate Thanksgiving, though I am planning on getting back into the Canadian tradition next year since both boys will be old enough to enjoy it and eat something. For us, it´s just another weekend! But I´ll be drooling from afar.
