Its almost Turkey Time

Thanksgiving is just a couple days and here I am once again in a panic mode.  I work all day tomorrow so this is really my last day to  get organized.  I have to admit I am a bit anxious but I usually do work better under pressure.  

This year I am having 15 guests and I am still trying to figure out where we're all going to sit and fit.  My house is really not that big but one thing is for sure...........we'll have a cozy Thanksgiving.  Of course we'll have our traditional menu like most everyone does in America with a few of our own surprises thrown in.  This year everone is bringing their favorites which makes it even more fun!  

My mom is preparing the big 23 pound turkey in her electric roaster.  She has done this in years past and it turns out PERFECT every time.  Hence the recipe I  found on line.......check it out if you need oven space

My sister-in-law from South Dakota is bringing the potatoes and her famous baked corn.  My brother Dave will bring some Beer:-) 

My brother Aaron who loves to hunt is making his pheasant pot pie which was new to my husband's family last year.  They loved it.  He has perfected his recipe over the years but to be honest, I can't get myself to like it.   Don't get me wrong.........it's good, but I am not much of a pheasant or wild game fan.  He'll probably also bring beer:-)  

My Husband's sister is making some roasted veggies....Brussel Sprouts and Green Beans.  They are delicious but I than again I love veggies.  I think she's bringing me some Wine..not beer:-) 

Speaking of, I'll be making my fresh Green Salad, Guacamole, and what I am most excited about is this......Isn't it cute!

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone
