The only way to make it any smoother then is to get invited to someone else’s home!
It seems like we always host turkey day. Nana pretty much lives to cook for others.
Speaking of preparation - I need to take the bird out of the freezer here in a few minutes. Wonder how long it will take to defrost a 25 pound bird?
I would cook for 50 happily but cleaning for 2 visitors causes me grief.
“Wonder how long it will take to defrost a 25 pound bird?”
Use the Rove deathray, 2 minutes at tops.
It will take about 3 days...
