What worked and what didn't work:
What worked:
Chopping all the vegetables on Tuesday.
Cooking the entire dinner on Wednesday. Everything!
Cleaning the house the day before.
Moving all the furniture the day before.
Raking leaves on Thanksgiving day because all the cooking and cleaning was (were?) done.
Having a utility sink in the basement.
Canned cranberry sauce.
BJ's frozen Normandy vegetables.
Ordering a bigger turkey this year (24#).
Having Mom come without a date or a "husband."
Martha Stewart's stuffing and how to cook a perfect turkey.
What didn't work:
Pioneer Woman's mashed potatoes. Sorry, not at all worth 2 sticks of butter, a package of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. It didn't make any difference.
Clogging the kitchen sink and related drain pipes before dinner. (See *utility sink in the basement). Steve decided to make turkey soup with the carcass since I'd already done all the cooking. Thank you Steve.
Changing my corn pudding recipe.
Starting the dishwasher not realizing it was attached to the clogged sink. We were up all night listening to the 30 second timer beep because the dishwasher wouldn't reset with water in it. Thank you Bon.
It was a wonderful meal and we all had a great time.

I'd rather have good old plain mashed potatoes too. I love them and ate my fair share of them yesterday.
I'm going outside in a few minutes to rake leaves!
Wow -- And hopefully today you can rest! I agree : mashed potatoes made with a little butter and milk, salt and pepper are wonderful. AND you can make gnocchi with the leftovers!!!
I'm intrigued by the corn pudding. It's something I've never heard of before!
hi...visit my profile OK
The good is that more things worked than didn't. The staying up all night with the beeping: not priceless. Did you get the clog out?
Sounds like a memorable holiday.
Happy day after Thanksgiving.
the good is --(hi cherl) :))
if you add a B to the end of WW/WDW
it would read
WW/WDWB
and it would mean
what would we do without bon
and the answer would be
we'd be one laugh short for the day--- and that just wouldn't be right!
so you keep writin, and keep findin the funny in the not so funny
we love ya
happy weekend
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I'm glad you guys enjoyed your holiday! Sounds like a busy Wednesday but a relaxing Thursday. We love cranberry sauce in a can at our house. Graham bought some other kind at first and we sent him back!
