Aaarrrgggh! Poison!

Can you recommend a substitute for the pecans? Are they crucial?

This may sound strange, but Snyders mini unsalted pretzels make a great substitute for nuts. You can chop/crush them just like pecans.

Heck, I have my Thanksgiving shopping list for all of our traditional recipes typed up in Word, in order by the aisles in Publix. This way I don't forget anything, and I can do my shopping very quickly.

BR--I do this too! mr. dd thinks I'm crazy, but he always appreciates it when I send him with a list.

I'm home for the grocery store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It was bad:angry:

I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond Crazy...then to Linens 'n Things You Don't Really Need. Then I stood up for 3 hours cooking. :eek: Chop chop chop mix chop chop saute chop chop mix chop mix. Turkey stock, Waldorf Salad and TWO kinds of dressing...meat and no meat. :D I have cleaned the kitchen three times so far...last time after Mr. K and his brining experiment. :blink: Now I remember why I don't cook anymore. ;-)

:clap:It's almost cocktail time.

Make mine a double...or maybe a triple. :wave:

I'm glad someone is as OCD as I am. :funn:

It's been cocktail time all afternoon while I'm prepping to feed my entire extended family. BTW the only offer of help from my family is a phone call from one of my siblings -- asked if I needed her to pick up some wine -- I said I had bought jug wine -- she said they do not drink jug wine -- I said that if that's the case, it would be helpful if she picked up some wine. After all, I am cooking the entire meal.

I hear ya, babe. I have been cooking since 9 AM, and took a break at 6 PM. I will start up tomorrow AM to finish the rest. Next year if our daughter doesn't come home in time to help me cook, Big D and I are going to the beach, dining out, and relaxing. I'm over spending a kajillion hours preparing meals for which only my husband appreciates my investment in time.

I feel your pain, Miss Kitty.

Clearbranch, Miss
I keep thinking about those delicious sounding meals like at Fire. Few people unless they've done it, appreciate and understand all the prep work that goes into one of these meals. 25.00 a head is sounding sooo cheap. To hail with leftovers. :bang:
