| I don't know! I am hosting a dozen people and am just not feeling the menu planning this year. I bought a turkey yesterday and I plan to make the cranberry sauce I always make, but am otherwise dragging my feet. Blah! and Bah humbug! I guess. |

Ok, sweet that your DH gets his favorite — including a bit of teasing. Plus there’s always the candied yams! Wishing you a lovely Thanksgiving, PP. |

Love if you can share the collard greens recipe. I might be able to get my husband to eat that. |

Oh no - unless you have a huge frig and oven, you need to get with it - good luck! |

Ugh haha I was hoping someone would say “Pfft you have plenty of time.” I only have one oven and a 4 burner stove. No microwave. But DH did just clean out the basement fridge and freezer for extra room. In-laws are bringing pie, so I just need to provide ice cream/whipped cream for dessert course. |

You do have time. Go place an order online for the basics. Pick up today and avoid the crowd. |

Slight change of plans. Nephew requested focaccia, so focaccia for lunch, and crusty bread for dinner. |
