Sounds like you are doing great. If we didn’t do “some ahead cooking, I would never get ready”. The thing about this year is that my brother and his wife are coming Tuesday after Thanksgiving for the wedding. We made a deal that I wouldn’t cook as usual since its right after Thanksgiving cooking. For them I am making a big pot of vegetable/beef soup, lots of deli.meats, good bread and will make a cake and the rest of the time we are ‘going out to eat’.
It will be me and my kids, wives, grandkids, etc. for Thanksgiving. It will all be alright as it always is! After my cleaning is done, I don’t worry~~
You have more on your plate than I do..Sounds like a good plan!
