Nothing. I'm giving the house a good scrubbing since the in-laws will be here Tuesday.

I won't start cooking till Wednesday.

What are you making, OP?

I'm not hosting this year, so I'm cooking vicariously.

Ordinarily I'd be doing the big shop, baking bread, making stock for the gravy, confronting the Hamlet question (to brine or not to brine), making cornbread and croutons for the stuffing, caramelizing onions for canapes, and picking out wines.

As it is, we're just making a couple of pie crusts and a pan of fudge to take to the inlaws'. DW will make pumpkin pie on Weds.

Making gravy this weekend. Shopping Tuesday. Setting table Tuesday and prepping Wednesday.

Just doing grocery shopping this weekend. I really hope I don't forget anything this time.

Last weekend I made my cranberry sauce and a dessert my family likes and froze those. This weekend making my pie crust and my stuffing and will freeze.
Just made out my menu and my shopping list, and am off to the store. Hope the rest of you are sleeping in!

Pie crust this weekend. Everything else Thursday morning.

Nothing. Just getting the last of the groceries, making sure I can find all of the cooking stuff I need (we just moved and I haven't tracked down things like my big roasting pan and gravy separator yet), doing the deep cleaning so I can just freshen up on Thursday and putting together my cooking plan.

I'm not cooking anything until Wednesday. Shopping Tuesday.

Just finalizing menu and shopping this weekend.

What are you making, OP?

Nothing. I start prepping Wednesday after work. The cleaning lady comes on Wednesday. This weekend we will go food shopping for all the dry ingredients plus ice.

It's upon us. What are you making ahead this weekend?
