I tell you I should of checked my list twice before going to the store.
I headed back to the store so many times for something I forgot that the store people started to tease me.
I think I have it all. I hope!"Everyday as your walking down the street, everybody that you met has an original point of view" -Arthur PBS

Wow, everyone is doing great!!
Sorry that I didn't explain the Turkey Oreos, lol.
I've got the Bacon Cracker out of the oven and the house smells fantastic. The cranberry sauce is cooling and the brine is simmering for the turkey.

Alright alright.....FINE. I'll get up and do something
No, but really....this thread inspired me to at least go and get the stuffing ready). I'll take the frozen bread dough out tomorrow morning and bake the bread early tomorrow afternoon, our turkey shouldn't take more than a couple hours since it's so tiny, and I'll sautee' some fresh green beans while making the gravy after the bird comes out of the oven. I'm not making a big deal out of it this year since it's just BF and I.

Everything is sitting on the counter - this way I won't forget.
I remember one year the gravy never made it to the table ( I left it on the stove)
Now I put all the needed serving platters out so I have yet to forget something in a long time.
