    Nope 5th. Only reason I'm crying is despite my protests I'm being forced to cook an needlessly large thanksgiving dinner for a wanna-be food critic - and I don't really know how to cook.

    Put the bird in the oven and cook 2-5 hours depending on weight.
    Hour before bird is done start boiling mashed potatoes
    Half hour later start your veggies.
    15 minutes later put biscuits in oven.

    Everything done at same time.
    Simple and easy.

    When I was a kid my father made his own Weber-type BBQ before Weber's were common. He made a wire frame and covered it with aluminum foil and used that to cover the Turkey on the BBQ and added a few coals at a time for slow cooking and thin fresh green limbs from our apple tree to add smokey flavor. Best damn turkey I've ever had.

    We're hosting for the first time in like 10 years. Just your basic in-the-oven bird and stuffing, salad, greens, cranberries and pie stuff. Should be good though!

    Have fun, all!

    Brian, your dad's turkey sounds delicious. Don't forget to watch The Last Waltz at some point this weekend. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.

    Only thing about my mom coming is she is such a critic on "cleanliness" and its not that my house is "dirty" it's lived in and messy, and to her that's dirty...lol So I'm probably going to get a wonderful critique on my housekeeping....

    No, don't blame you there! Plus, it's a learned skill! ( frying a turkey) I've fucked it up both times I've tried it. Yes, stick with what Speedy said, you'll do fine! :-)

    There are websites, that breakdown preparing Thanksgiving dinner, hour by hour. Plus any questions you have just ask here.

    I am sure there are a few of us here who would be more than happy to help you out.

    You guys are the Bestest. I printed out a couple recipes today and did a quick stock check. I'm not trying to have dinner ready by noon the way some people do so I do have a little room for error. I will need to YouTube how to carve a turkey though.

    Turkey. I'm shoving apples and carrots inside.
    Mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows
    Stuffing with pork sausage
    Red goop from a can
    String beans
    au gratin potatoes
    Gravy
    Salad
    Pumpkin pie
    Biscuits
    Deviled eggs if I go get paprika. Otherwise egg salad on toast.

    I'm forgetting something.
