Te...Timing a Thanksgiving dinner takes experience. Tell your son to jot down some notes so next year he will have something to look at to refresh his memory. Even a timetable is a good idea.<br /><br />This year the sweet potato casserole didn't take 40 minutes like the recipe said so I made a note of it. Next year we will know to make it the night before and add the topping to bake the last 10 minutes on the actual day. <br /><br />It's all in learning to cook.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-36861485872399159432006-11-28T16:20:00.000-06:002006-11-28T16:20:00.000-06:00Thanks for your visit to my blog this afternoon.

I need and appreciate the reassurance that my holiday planning is really of no consequence in the big picture. I do know it, of course, but the pressure to perform is outa control. Maybe I'm adding to it, I don't know. I need to take a chill pill, I do know that. thanks again - REALLY.. please visit again.. early and often!:)Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-19620836902960061782006-11-28T11:04:00.000-06:002006-11-28T11:04:00.000-06:00What a nice couple your son and DIL make!

I started a day ahead making as much as possible, but it didn't help as much as I thought it would. It was still a mad dash at the end to get everything finalized. Thankfully or sadly we didn't have any guests which would have sent me over the edge.Fruit Jar Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005986621095045593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-56818577001290688012006-11-27T16:07:00.000-06:002006-11-27T16:07:00.000-06:00I find any event that I have to host - very stress...I find any event that I have to host - very stressful. This year was so small, however, that it didn't bother me. I've started to anticipate the stress of Christmas, and I have to wonder if this doesn't happen to everyone. I can't imagine it stressing my grandmother, but it might have. I suspect now that until about 15 years ago when my parents started coming over here, my mother felt the stress, too.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.com
