For many people, turkey day is tomorrow. If you’re planning on making something, how goes your prep?

I’ve got a cornbread casserole in the oven, which has gone smoothly enough so far. However I do have to run to the grocery store to pick up all-purpose flour. Turns out we had less in stock than I expected, and we typically make a lot of cookies each year. Hopefully I’ll be able to get in and out no worse for wear.

    Honestly I think it’s easier, takes up a fair bit of space in the fridge, but you don’t have to worry about liquids and leaking like with a wet brine. The prep isn’t too bad. Just give it enough time to thaw and then you cut out the spine, flatten it and season. I think optimally it has 4 days to sit then but that’s a lot of time taking that much space and I didn’t buy the turkey early enough for that >.> <.< Work’s just been busy, I’ve had a recaulking project at home that did turn out well but took triple the time i thought it would, and then with a kid and toddler, just haven’t been quite on top of it

      I heard that. Sounds like a rough week, but glad it seems to have worked out. I was sick last week and it made the lead-up to this week stressful cause I wasn’t sure if I would recover in time. But I’ve been fine the last two days and have had to make up for lost time in getting everything ready. So far so good, though.
