Happy Thanksgiving Eve. The turkey is thawed enough to be ready to roast tomorrow. I've made the cranberry relish and baked two pumpkin pies. The sweet potatoes (no marshmallows, I make mine with chopped nuts and brown sugar) are ready to go in the oven tomorrow morning. Tomorrow I'll make the mashed potatoes and gravy, baste the turkey, set the table, brew the coffee,bake the biscuits, heat the ham, etc., and welcome the other nine people (family all) who will be at my table and who are bringing stuffing, desserts and green bean casserole. I don't think anyone will go away hungry.
On my favorite TV news show this morning I saw a chef explaining how a Thanksgiving dinner for one could be made for under 350 calories. One suggestion was to stew the turkey (boil it in broth) instead of roasting it. I don't think so. Thanksgiving day is a wonderful day for enjoying fellowship and thanking God for the blessings in our lives. It's not for counting calories.
