I just looked up the recipe for the sausage stuffing that I'm taking to Thanksgiving. I also started a load of laundry. I don't have to be productive for the rest of the day, right? I can bimble around on eBay and browse super-frilly gothic heroine nightgowns? (Too big for me, but just the sort of thing I'm looking for.)

I was not going to do turkey, but won a free one - so yay?
I'm thinking of cutting the turkey up before cooking. Nobody in my family cares about seeing a big "display" turkey, and from what I understand it will brown more evenly and be juicier cut up first. (At least several chefs say that.) Also I think it will make cleanup easier. More work up front in cutting up the raw turkey, but I have one really good large knife. If this really results in better turkey, plus less cleanup I think it will be worth it. But have I assessed what I'm losing and what I'm gaining properly? Thoughts?

Hmm, I need a sausage stuffing recipe.
And I have no idea on cooking a pre-cut turkey. I also just realized that I have no idea on how to cut a cooked whole turkey either. Which will be fun.
I am honestly mostly into the whole dinner as a pathway to making an enormous amount of stock.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm having trouble figuring out what can be chopped now and kept until being assembled closer to the date, how far out things can be assembled. Going to a concert Wednesday night i seemed like no problem when I bought the tickets...

I love the fact that we go to a buffet for Thanksgiving. My kitchen is not amenable to involved cooking.

Buzzfeed has you covered for the basics.

I've struggled with plans for T-Day due to some family uncertainty. A couple of days ago, one of his ARP buddies invited us to a potluck T-Day and it looks like that is what we are going to do.
But I asked what we should bring and was told "food". So, I figure a pie and something...just not sure what that something should be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Something you like to eat, in case the other potluck offerings are sketchy.

CJ just added "meat" to the "food", so I'll bring a ham, I think.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I've always just made the sausage stuffing without a recipe. Hrm.
Just went online and ordered a turkey dinner from Gelsons. I am too frazzled to actually cook the whole dang meal from scratch. It's hard enough work making all the dang sides, including the sausage stuffing.
