[quote=Anonymous]A big thing for me is to plan the recipes far in advance and make a shopping list at least three weeks out. I'm then feeling totally confident about it and freed up from the planning by the time I go to the store the weekend before. I do a bunch of prep then too. Turkey gets ordered around now. Which reminds me, I need to do that! I treat myself to a planned floral arrangement to match our table for Thanksgiving. I offer a cocktail for adults and kids to set the tone. I always have a planned lunch for Thanksgiving, generally soup (homemade, but made in advance), bread, cheese and salad. This is a buffet style, and it feels very civilizing. Of course set the table in advance. Then someone who doesn't cook does the dishes. Paper plates on Thanksgiving could not, not happen in my house unless medically necessary. That is the one time of year we use our best china and silver. There has to be some ceremony in life or it all goes by too quickly. [/quote]
