Nov. 29th, 2008 10:42 amAhhh. I am freaking out.
My in-laws are coming for (belated) Thanksgiving dinner tonight, and I am dreadfully certain that something will go wrong.
I got my decorating done. The house is... tolerable. NEED TO CLEAN BATHROOM.
Raking is not going to happen. They can handle messy yard.
Turkey is thawed.
Schedule:
11:00 AM: Pie out of oven.
11:30 AM: Make lunch for family. Eat lunch. What? NO IDEA.
12:00 PM: Make stuffing. Stuff bird. CRAP. DO NOT HAVE STUFFING MIX. (11 AM: Send Peter with kids for stuffing mix.)
12:30 PM: Turkey in oven.
4:15 PM: Prepare carrot and celery sticks.
4:25 PM: Peel and cut potatoes. Put in pan to wait.
4:35 PM: Peel onions. Put in pan to wait.
4:50 PM: Trim green beans. Put in pan to wait.
5:00 PM: In-laws arrive. Put out carrots and celery.
5:35 PM: Turn on potatoes.
5:35 PM: Extra stuffing in oven.
5:40 PM: Turn on onions.
5:40 PM: Turn on green beans.
5:50 PM: Start gravy.
5:55 PM: Mix stuffing.
5:55 PM: Carve turkey (Peter).
5:58 PM: Mash potatoes.
6 PM -- Eat.
Should I have gotten wine? Probably. ARGH.
