So, spoke to MIL tonight...she is preparing Gumbo, cornbread dressing; SIL is baking pies; I'm preparing two casserole's and now a turkey (SURPISE!!! ) MIL said that we had our meat dish in the gumbo...good thing I bought that small turkey today...now do I thaw it in the sink over night (I know that is not how you should do it--but, I want to cook it tomorrow)...may go soak it in a brine tonight in the sink (bad me)
best part I did not even tell MIL about the turkey; so, it will be a surprise hope SIL does not think along the same line as me...
eveyone have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!!

You knew that would happen for sure. I'd do it in the sink. I know they say you shouldn't. I normally don't but have been known too. I've since gone to fresh turkeys so I don't have to worry so much.
You all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are leaving at 7:30 in the morning and hope to get there around 4:30. I hope Don feels like driving. He spent the day with his Dad and Mom. Dad is not well. He is on 4 kinds of pain meds. I hate it for them so bad.
