Executive Chef
I started cooking on Monday last week for that huge 550 person party I did on Thursday (huge success, by the way). But for my own Thanksgiving dinner, I don't need three days lead time.
I always take Wednesday off, and start cooking things on Wednesday. When my dolly was growing up, I always let her take that day off school. Traditionally, we'd spend the day cooking together. She's coming home from school on Tuesday night, so we can continue the tradition another year! This leaves Thursday for simple tasks and final baking of things. Dinner is later than usual this year, so the turkey doesn't have to go in at the crack of dawn either. I'm thinking 10:30 will be fine.
Has anyone started prepping anything yet?
