In my family, we make the load way easier on the hostess by doing it potluck. The hosts do the turkey, dressing, gravy, set up, while the rest bring the potatoes, more veggies, buns, pumpkin pie, etc. A lot easier! We did a Thankful tree last year- it was a neat idea:http://shorestories.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-already-showed-you-this-thankful-tree.html<BR/>I have discovered that once you try it, cooking a turkey is pretty easy. I get stressed out at the end, cause I worry that it won't be cooked in time, etc, but usually things turn out pretty good.Halfmoon Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050121358001735700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-69551889042396196292008-11-07T06:23:00.000-06:002008-11-07T06:23:00.000-06:00I have done my own turkeys in the past.

We always manage to swing by my husband's aunt's house on our way home-so we eat a huge Thanksgiving dinner with all his cousins and I'm not required to bring a thing ;-)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574801420531173019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-81194486550591992012008-11-06T22:57:00.000-06:002008-11-06T22:57:00.000-06:00My hubby is a Food Network junkie so I just leave ...My hubby is a Food Network junkie so I just leave it up to the resident chef in perpetual training.<BR/><BR/>Last year, I paid a friend of mine to fry a turkey.

Unless you count green bean casserole (ICK) or marshmallow topped sweet potato stuff as a difference. Otherwise it's all about the turkey, stuffing and the gravy. LOTS of gravy! Oh- and the being thankful and all that stuff too!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307333354110021492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-71943392605186685622008-11-06T22:17:00.000-06:002008-11-06T22:17:00.000-06:00I am going to let my precious mom cook this year. ...I am going to let my precious mom cook this year.

Then I squeeze out 3 or 4 oranges, put the squeezed oranges in the bag, set the bird in on top of them and baste the turkey with the juice. I usually throw in a sprig or two of rosemary too. No other basting necessary.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972449568989237676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648965617421128919.post-61950719103467801922008-11-06T21:08:00.000-06:002008-11-06T21:08:00.000-06:00lol r u kidding , my hubby cooks the turkey.

That's my mom's neck of the woods. <BR/>However, your chicken breast injury....wait, that sounds weird...ahem...the injury to your hand due to slicing a piece of chicken...better...reminds me of the chicken pot pie I made when I was a newleywed. I made that bad boy from sctatch, including crust. It took me all stinkin day. However, I thought that the paprika that the recipe called for looked so pretty in the recipe that I tripled it. Needless to say, Rolaids were our friends for several days after that. We still laugh at the ridiculously spicy chicken pot pie. But bless his heart, hubs ate every single bite on his plate!3girlsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11177255057355991922noreply@blogger.com
