Preparations are under way

The turkey is stuffed and in the oven.

The potatoes are peeled.

The turkey's neck is simmering slowly in a small saucepan full of water, which will reduce to about half, for seasoning for the gravy.

The pumpkin pies are baked, resting on the counter, taunting us.

Left to do are rolls and pecan pies to be baked, green bean casserole to assemble, potatoes to be boiled and mashed, turkey to be basted every half hour or so, gravy to be prepared, and Scrabble to be played.

It looks like it will be a nice relaxing day, where my only problem will be that I have too much to eat.

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Pumpkin AND pecan - wow! I'll take a wedge of both, with some whipped cream (OK, Cool Whip from the tub).
And turkey sandwiches for tomorrow!

Sounds good, DW worked so we went to the hospital and met her and had hospital food for Thanksgiving. Your list sounds divine!
