Day Before Thanksgiving

What a productive day before Thanksgiving! We've gone to the store almost everyday because we're missing an ingredient here and there. I got the beverage station all ready to go with a sparkling tablecloth from plumparty.com. The punch bowl is out as well as the margarita glasses, martini glasses, wine glasses, and drinking cups. The utensils are all wrapped in a decorative tie, and the sweet potato pies are all done. The vegetables are all chopped and ready for prep work tomorrow morning.

I took some pictures of David who is the CHEF for the turkey making this year. This is his very first time making a turkey and he is using Alton Brown's recipe. And so here is a picture of David brining the turkey for 6- 16 hours in the refrigerator. He had to buy a container large enough to keep the turkey drenched for brining. And so he went to Home Depot and bought this absolutely gorgeous culinary appliance!!! (hahaha)!
