Well, frak.

Thanksgiving is Thursday. We are having 4 guests plus us. The menu so far is turkey. Having never done this for guests, I'm at a loss. I assume I should have some kind of appetizer and other stuff.

Plz to be posting what you would like to see at your perfect TDay. Recipes links help angels earn their wings.

ETA: We are having two of Steven's Taiwanese students, as well, if it helps.

Thanksgiving is one of those meals that looks big but that's so easy :D Mashed potatoes? Boil. Mash with butter, salt & milk. Candied yams? Bake, whip with brown sugar, toss in oven with a layer of marshmallows on top. Pie of any sort? Store bought pie shell for the easy, mix whatever ingredients in 1 bowl, toss in pie shell, put in oven. Stuffing actually takes a tad of skill but box mixes are quite decent and are totally simple. Cranberry sauce - put cranberries in 1 inch of water with enough sugar to sweeten. Add lemon zest if you want :P Eggnog, coffee and mulled wine for nummy drinks :)

By far the hardest thing is figuring out how to have everything done at near the same *time* :D

T-giving dinner is kind of a production here though - I have to make everything gluten free, which means all the bready products are from scratch 0.o

Yeah as I was typing up my reply I was thinking, "Damn, this sounds too easy!" I guess if you wanted to make it all from scratch it would be much harder, but still not that bad. They're all just such basic recipes.

I think the really daunting part is buying and cooking for a group. Like If I frakked this up and it was just Steven and me, I wouldn't care. But these are people I feel obligated to impress (not that any of them would care, but self pressure is grand).
