Has anyone ever worked out a flow chart for preparing the entire TG meal? Cause even though I’ve done this for years, it’s a challenge to get it all on the table at the appointed time
For the last few years we had Thanksgiving at my aunt and uncle’s big house, there was a sign-up sheet with all of the tasks outlined. You had to sign up to do something… set the table, clear the table, get the drink orders (milk, water, pop, cider, etc.), get the drinks on the table, wash the dishes, wash the pots and pans, dry those, keep the fire going in the fireplace, keep the veggie and cheese trays stocked… all sorts of things, but the do-ahead stuff was pretty much set beforehand.
Now we have a list of who makes which pies, and who makes/brings which part of the dinner. I try to wait to arrive until my cousin and his wife get there because then she will do the gravy and I won’t have to! I think we are having 23 in attendance tomorrow.
