Scenes leading up to our Thanksgiving.
J. took all the kids out of the house to give the cooks a little "piece of quiet." Chef Sis is making clam dip and prepping the cheese tray. I just took a long shower and snuck away to capture the moment.
Recipe for a relaxed Thanksgiving:
1. Sleep in. (Make arrangements with husband the night before.)
2. Get glassware, silver, napkins, etc. sorted 1-2 days before.
We are ready to rock this mofo.
3. Enlist help.
Bro chopping bread for the stuffing.

Chef Sis
dry-brining the turkey.
4. Bake something yummy (then breathe deeply and try not to kill your preschooler for poking holes in the crisp crumb topping of your cherry pie).

Out of these ingredients, a pumpkin and cherry pie were born.
5. Smile and enjoy the day! Happy Thanksgiving!
I tried to talk Wallie into the sensible shoes, really I did.
