Russ -- It won't be all homecooked but it will be Thanksgiving! I refuse to deprive myself of my turkey skin or leftovers. That just seemed too cruel -- a major medical bill and no Thanksgiving leftovers -- so, I'm doing a little bit at a time.
The cucumbers are sitting in their salt, the mushrooms are marinating. I will do the turkey and stuffing and buy the side dishes as much as I can. The pies will be frozen. Good thing Mrs. Smith makes good pies.
I'm skipping the ambrosia and spinach salads, no sweet potato souffle. But it should still be pretty good and the invite still stands. ;D
