But I did make the turkey...easy as pie...and I made a pie too! Have a no fail turkey recipe from my husband's Mimi....who has cooked the Thanksgiving turkey for more than 50 years. I think she knows what she's doing!! :) Can email you instructions....the best part is you put it in oven the night before, cook for an hour, and then cut oven off and leave it overnight....IT COOKS WHILE YOU SLEEP!!

I remember the year after Mama died having to call her best friend Gaynell in Texas and ask her questions all through the meal. I am now an old hand at the turkey thing. So, email or Tweet and I'll help if I can. Good Luck! I am totally available for any Thanksgiving crisis help you need.

Do a turkey in a cooking bag (just follow the directions EXACTLY) no mess to clean up. Buy a jar of gravy. Do the mashed pots ahead of time. Cranberries from a can. Frozen pumpkin pie. If you serve it all up on pretty plates (and hide all the pre-made evidence) nobody will know the difference and you will have saved yourself much time, energy and frustration. Remember the holiday is not supposed to be a contest to see if you can make a spread Martha would envy, it's about being grateful and enjoying your family. So cut yourself some slack.

Ha! Anyway, I hope you have a great T-day even if there is NO "T" in it. Enjoy your respite, we are gonna need it to gear up for Christmas! PS- I saw the cutest little puppy sweater the other day, and I thought of... you guessed it, Jensen!
