Thanksgiving Food Update 11-22-10

Let’s revisit the menu, shall we?
Turkey – Mama is cooking this
Mashers – I am cooking these.  Need 5 lb. potatoes, milk (have), butter (have)
Stuffing – I am cooking this.  Have some ingredients (yes I’m using Stovetop – SHHHH) but need to get the celery and onion to sauté in chicken stock and doctor it up).  I do have chicken stock thanks to Mom.
Rolls – DH bought these, thereby protecting his bread interests.
Cranberry Jelly – Mom bought this and sent it up.  Put in fridge before the big day.
Salad – Mama’s doing this
Carrots – need to buy
Green beans – need to buy
Gravy – Mama should have and is doing, double-check
Pumpkin Pie – need to buy crust and pumpkin, make sure I have other ingredients, get Redi-Whip
Chocolate Dessert – pin this down, get ingredients
Appetizers – get nuts and dried cranberries – we’ll eat soon after everyone arrives so really just need munchies
Wine – Have some, get some
Water – get a carafe ready
Juice for kiddos – probably will mix something like pineapple and sierra mist, or something
Sodas – need to replenish
Ice – make sure ice maker is full and working (thanks DH!  (he fixed it – he’s awesome))
Coffee – make sure cream and sugar are ready, I have coffee, big brewer is set and ready to go, should have coffee already, probably get some disposable cups to take it away in so dad-in-law can take some for the road since he’s driving down and back same day
