I think it kind of melts any whip cream that you would too it with so my guess would be most people like it cool or cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370498 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:06:20 +0000 Bibliolove 2370498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just about to pull out my turkey to warm up a bit before headed to the oven. Need to truss and prep it. </p> <p>Pies are made, mashed potatoes are done, cranberry sauce is set. Challah bread turned out a tad burned this year....delicate bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370470 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 07:05:06 +0000 avivoca 2370470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: No, my crock pot was in service. I guess I dedn't use enough water when I was soaking? The sauce had salt in it so I'm fairly certain that's why they didn't soften more when I cooked them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370454 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 06:33:07 +0000 anonysquire 2370454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I put the lil smokies in the crockpot with some honey bbq mixture I made. I bought the ingredients for the pasta salad I'll be making, bought a veggie tray and tomorrow at my parents I'll make the mashed potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370453 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 06:32:17 +0000 honeybear 2370453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put a couple of bottles of Chardonnay in the fridge! The pie making starts after I'm done with my coffee. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370410 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 00:34:40 +0000 gingerbebe 2370410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 sweet potato pies baked and cooling. A cake of cornbread baked and cubed to stale for stuffing. Turkey breastplate brined. Gravy and cranberry sauce I purchased. Tomorrow I will make the stuffing, roast the turkey, heat the corn, make the sweet potato casserole, and the most time consuming - make mashed potatoes from scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370404 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 23:52:49 +0000 regberadaisy 2370404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: do some people like it warm?? I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie myself.</p> <p>We're mid travel with our turkey. I was going to make cornbread soufflé but man, didn't feel like bringing everything .

The BBQ sauce kicks butt but I don't want to serve crunchy beans to people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370344 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:57:52 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2370344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 family dinners worth of cookies. And I have one Brussel sprout, pecan, cranberry side to make in the am. We don't host and have much smaller gatherings for thanksgiving than for Christmas so I don't have to work too hard. Thank goodness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370328 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:43:56 +0000 winniebee 2370328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 945 pm. I've brined the turkey, cubed squash, chopped carrots, washed China and crystal, set the table.....tomorrow I have to make stuffig, stuff the bird, peel and mash potatoes, cook the bird, carrots, squash....and shower....and pour a Mimosa and mind my children because my husband now has to operate in the morning :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370323 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 21:40:11 +0000 raintreebee 2370323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 100% ready. Because we are eating at a hotel this year!! The three of us just fled to Florida for one last hurrah before LO2 arrives. Nice not to have to deal with family drama and also cooking while 8 months pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370259 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:51:16 +0000 yoursilverlining 2370259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make thanksgiving dinner for a homeless veteran's shelter (so I make that entire dinner myself, but don't have to make anything for our family thanksgiving) and I'm currently cooking but have done: cornbread stuffing, 2 apple pies, 1 pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, gravy broth (from neck/giblets), and turkey is brined. About to prep all the veggies, maybe make another pumpkin pie. We'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370129 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:03:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2370129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've baked cornbread for the dressing and prepped green beans. The turkey is thawing. I think that's all I'm going to do today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370126 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:58:00 +0000 winter_wonder 2370126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking about making the pumpkin pie tonight. We like it better cold anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370105 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 18:29:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2370105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cornbread just came out of the oven to make the stuffing tomorrow.

Great prepping ahead. </p> <p>All this Thanksgiving talk is making this Canadian hungry for turkey dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370020 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:14:20 +0000 mrsrain 2370020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The house is clean, the pie is baked, and the dough is riding for the rolls. Everything else will happen tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370015 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:12:06 +0000 BSB 2370015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turkey is thawing/brining.</p> <p>I'm going to wash, cut, steam the veggies in my veggie casserole. It's green bean casserole but with broccoli and cauliflower. Then put together and bake tomorrow.</p> <p>I wonder, can I cook the potatoes and sweet potatoes today and do a quick steam and mash tomorrow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-have-you-gotten-done-for-thanksgiving-at-this-point#post-2370002 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:03:30 +0000 DillonLion 2370002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hosting tomorrow and so far I have....cubed the butternut squash (did that last night). </p> <p>I've been stuck at work all day and really want to get home to start cooking. Gah! </p>
