This sounds delicious, what a nice thing to make for guests stopping by and traveling!
I have been busy in the kitchen too. We planned for Thanksgiving down to the last piece of spinach (as my dad used to say). Menu selected, grocery list made, dog getting groomed, mom groomed, house clean...the whole deal. Young son and family called, "can we come up a week early?" OK son, that will be fine. Plus they will be here an extra day! More meals.
Dog grooming appt changed, no housekeeper this week, so it is on me, carpets were cleaned yesterday, so they are still wet today, we forgot the dogs appointment today, (luckily she said, "that is OK, bring her in") carpet guy forgot appointment with us yesterday, we called and he came in the afternoon which threw us totally off, gas fireplace acting up, service man coming out today.
What a mess, I feel so totally inadequate right now. But I did get the gravy made this morning, I have salad greens washed and dried, pomegranate arils pulled and cleaned, picking up turkey today, will get the dry rub on it and put it in fridge to air dry skin., so all is not so bad. I still have to think of two breakfasts, but will do brunch instead so I can cut out one meal for the extra day.
Dressing, mashed spuds, and green beans will be prepped on Wed. and Thurs. I cook dressing in slow cooker and reheat mashed spuds in slow cooker, they both come out beautifully.
It has to be the Super Moon causing all this craziness!
