In our second installation for Patch.com, we elucidate the finer points of defrosting and pre-baking for Turkey Day. Check us out, if you’re feeling the crunch! Part I covered grocery shopping, table-setting and taking stock of your pantry; in Part III we’ll take you through gravy-making, side-dishing, and turkey-roasting on Tuesday November 23rd. Update: The final hour-by-hour Thanksgiving plan is now live.
your part 2 of Bronville Patch [Count Down] was helpful , useful & fun to read. It merits TO BE PRINTED & Saved for future holidays–avoiding the “Hosting Jitters”:Thanks M &M !!!LOL xoxo PS -Getting my printer ready for Tuesday’s part 3.
Thanks Mrs A! And yes, Tuesday’s column will outline the final countdown including timing the sides and turkey as well as preparing the gravy. xoxo
I am loving these helpful pre-Thanksgiving posts! My excitement and anxiety are both high because this is my very first Thanksgiving as cook/hostess. Just did all my shopping today and laid out all of my serving platters with recipes just like you suggested. Now I can put my feet up and have a glass of wine 🙂
Oh, good job! So glad our tips are helpful. Have fun with this holiday. It is absolutely my fave!
