The preparations have begun for the annual feast at our house. The turkey was not thawing very quickly in the refrigerator so I took it out this morning and have started the quick thaw method. We will brine tomorrow and so I also made the vegetable stock for the brine solution. The kitchen is beginning to smell like the holidays. A trip to the grocery store today should provide all of the other essentials. Of course I have not found the required rutabaga yet but I am confident that it will be out there today. We have a full table with family and friends. Jessica is due in later today and Mike will be coming up after work tomorrow. They are both looking forward to Mom's traditional preparations which include making an apple pie while watching the Macy's Christmas parade. We still remember what a wonderful Thanksgiving we had in New York for Mike's 10th birthday trip. It doesn't seem like it could have been 16 years ago.
Thinking of everyone this Thanksgiving and wishing safe travels.
