Starting to Prep for Thanksgiving :)

[DoggyDaddy]

All shopping completed yesterday except for fava beans. I need to run to the local Middle Eastern grocery to pick up some there along with cinnamon sticks.

Just made the peanut butter cookie dough that will chill for 3+ hours.

I have a few things to do today that should be too terribly bad.

#1) Brief shopping trip
#2) Make rice pudding
#3) Make Flan
#4) Make Creme Brulle
#5) Make peanut butter cookies
#6) Make candied pecans (Thanks again BBI)
#7) Make dough for black bread, then refridgerate overnight. This will be first thing in oven tomorrow so the whole place will smell good.
#8) Prep and organize all ingredients for tomorrow. I may(?) be able to prep the dish for au gratin potatoes so that all I have to do tomorrow is put it in the oven. Yay!
#9) Set the tables for service tomorrow.

I should have three (3) packages arrive from Amazon today that will complete my requirements for a good setup. They better get here.

Thanksgiving has become a love/hate relationship for me. I love doing it for family and friends (although aren't really good friends family we have chosen?), but I hate the work and stress that goes into it.

Ce la vi. We only live once and should eat, drink and be merry.

Good luck and God speed to all on here that are in the same boat. We shall suffer and rejoice together.

Regards,

Doug

Do you already have your liver and a nice Chianti? Or are you waiting for the guests to arrive to get your liver?

I never did mind about the little things.
