Jon

Tonight I:

• washed a bunch of dishes


• made breadcrumbs


• de-fatted and re-strained the chicken stock


• made stuffing for the turkey


• chopped all vegetables for the gravy-making


• made a list of all items to take with me tomorrow to our hosts


• put yams in the crockpot with butter and orange juice

Also, Laura made cranberry relish.

Tomorrow I:

• stuff the turkey, truss it, stick it in the rack and wrap it up well


• bag the giblets for gravy-making


• mash the yams and stick in a container


• pack everything up


• go to our host


• cook a turkey, make gravy, carve a turkey


• enjoy Thanksgiving dinner

Friday, I'll have turkey-and-stuffing sandwiches with leftovers, and make soup from the carcass and the vegetable trimmings from today's chopping. Yum!

A happy and food-production-centered holiday to you and yours!
