A quick list before my mom gets here to help. Remember my mom’s help? Send xanax.

Vacuum and dust downstairs

remove clutter from areas to be occupied by guests

mop kitchen floor

fold and put away the three five clean loads of laundry.

Get to cooking:

1. green bean casserole. I’ve never in my life made a green bean casserole as it  sounds vile, but I found a recipe that uses real ingredients, not cream of mushroom soup. Iwouldn’t have considered it, but the green beans or whatever green veg always get cold as soon as I bring it to the table and no one ever eats them. So casserole. At least it will stay hot.  We’ll see how it goes.

2. Pies, chocolate pecan and pumpkin. The pie crust ingredients are chilling and the pumpkin pie fillings is made.

3. Brine the turkey

4. Possibly make a squash and potato casserole. My aunt is making the mashed potatoes and I don’t trust her to bring enough.

5. Caramelize onions for casserole. Perhaps this should be #1. I should reevaluate the order of this list.

The rolls are made, they need to thaw overnight and rise a little before I bake them tomorrow. I also have a mashed potato casserole I can bake frozen in case of a potato emergency tomorrow. I made cranberry sauce too.My mother in law is bringing the sweet potatoes.

We should bring sodas up from the basement and set the table for tomorrow to0.

I think that’s it. I’m probably forgetting a thousand things.
