Joy’s Thanksgiving-Menu Production Process
November 25, 2009
1) The night before the meal, make a list of things that are nice to have for Thanksgiving dinner; make the cranberry sauce.
2) Wake up later-than-planned on Thanksgiving day.
3) Cross out almost everything on list. Whip up a pie. Throw a turkey in the oven, make a salad, make gravy. Microwave some green beans. Set out the turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, salad, veggies and pie about an hour after the original ETA for dinner.
4) If anyone says anything about the paucity of dishes, discuss the epidemic of obesity in the United States.
If the problem persists, deploy the wifely Arched Eyebrow method of stifling dissent.
5) Stay up late preparing the turkey stock for post-Thanksgiving soup. Smoke a cigar after everyone is gone/in bed.
