Tag Archives: Thanksgiving

Today we did the bulk of the shopping for our Thanksgiving meal. We’ll get a couple of the really perishable things on Wednesday at the last minute. As you can see, the turkey with her brine takes up an entire shelf in the fridge. It’s nice and chilly this week so most likely it’ll be refrigerator temps outside and the turkey can loll about in her bath out there. When her fridge was this full and I was standing trying to find a spot to put something away, Grandma always advised, “you have to hold your mouth right”. I’m making my turkey stock today and spreading out much of the other prep over the next few days in hopes of having a more relaxed Thanksgiving day with time for parades and dog shows and family time.
