Tuesday is Pie day. Apple, pumpkin, pecan and key lime. Wednesday I do all the make ahead sides I can. Sausage stuffing, garlic and cream cheese potatoes, and butternut squash. Boil about a dozen eggs for Thursday appetizer. I will also put together and get ready for the oven green beans and sweet potatoes. For dinner Wednesday evening I do a Tuscan soup and baked potato bar with seafood and steak topping plus every other normal topping as several folks arrive for the night and this works well with multiple arrival times. Thursday AM I make orange scones served with jam and clotted cream. About 9:00 AM the turkey goes in the oven. Bake the breads next. Then start working on all the appetizers and put out as done so folks can graze as others arrive. Curried deviled eggs, baked brie, shrimp, vegetables and dip, crackers with several type cheese, crab dip, and a couple others. Between 2:00 and 3:00 all other baked dishes go in the oven. Around 3:00 the turkey comes out and is covered to rest. Make the salad and gravy, everything is set up buffet style and dinner will begin about 4:00. Desserts coffee and football after.
