let's see, after a week and a half of planning - okay, make that 2 weeks and a half - we ended up with:


turkey cutlets (better than a whole roasted bird that's gonna end up 80% wasted - we even had to do last-minute frantic search at Pathmark with all the rabble)
stuffing - she bought some cranberry-orange muffins and just churned this out
cranberry sauce - another last-minute thing but just goes better with the turkey
potato salad - always a reliable, and should end up lasting more than the turkey
gravy - can't live without it
corn, carrots and peas - the easy part left for me to do
and then all washed off with peach chardonnay - wait, i'm the only one who really washed off the food with it.


and of course, the chocolate cake, which had a lot more icing than usual, but will always be a favorite for me.

all in all, a Thanksgiving by amateurs, but the joy is in the preparations.

Thank you, Food Network.

God bless the chef - love ya!
