This evening, I have made: 1 apple pie 1 batch of brownies 1 plate of veggie puff pastry appetizers (prepped and frozen to be baked on *Friday* for post-T-day festivities) 1 wrapped brie (en croute, to be slid into the oven and served as an app tomorrow) |

Lol, I just finished a margarita - cheers, OP!
Cranberry sauce is made and in the fridge Ditto the NYT cranberry curd tart, with some modifications Pumpkin pies are cooling on the counter Stuffing has been prepped for tomorrow Turkey is also in the fridge - planning to put it in at 8:30 Apples are sliced and chilling, as is the caramel sauce. I’ll put the pie in early tomorrow Dressing is ready for the salad I’m making - will shred the cabbage and assemble tomorrow That’s mostly it. We have the makings for a great cheese plate pre-dinner. Drinks also cooling. My mom is bringing mashed and sweet potatoes. Good luck, all! |

Enjoying a glass of wine while I work on pumpkin cheesecake bars  .
Torn bread is drying out for stuffing, thanksgiving slaw is in the fridge. Pie dough is made, but we'll bake the pies in the morning while the turkey is on the grill. For now, turkey is brining. It's the calm before the storm. |

Made pie crust dough (chilling overnight)
Made cranberry sauce Have stuffing bread cut and drying out. That’s about it. I don’t do anything special with the turkey bc it is just extra work and I can’t tell any difference. I just or it dry, rub it with butter and salt and pepper right before putting in oven |
