So, here's the shopping list. The restaurant supply house is due in a couple of hours. Turkeys are not on this list, because I'm picking them up from a local butcher on Wednesday. I settled upon this method about 3 years ago, and I have to say that not having my refrigerators crammed up for a few days before Thanksgiving, but only for one evening, has worked out well.
And here's the menu for the week. I have 3 arriving Sunday, 2 more on Monday, and the rest on Tuesday and Wednesday. Oh, and the census for Thanksgiving dinner is 22 (subject to change, of course; could be higher).
So the plan is to make the pie crusts and cranberry sauce tomorrow, desserts Monday and Wednesday (I have a business appointment in New York City on Tuesday), and play the rest by ear. Photos to follow, of course!

A friend said to me 'you never get over it you learn to live through it' Happy thanksgiving to you Marjie and all your family. I hope that you have a good holiday - different but good.
I hate that a key family member won't be with you but it looks like you'll have plenty to keep you busy.
I love how much you love your beloved!!!!! I am so glad you are going to be surrounded by your family & grandchildren this week. Sending love your way. Good luck with your business meeting in New York.
as always, i'm in awe of your feast and its preparation! hope you had a joyous holiday!
