Day 24 - Get 'er ready!


Since we'll be doing Thanksgiving 6 driving hours away from the house, and the closest market will be a 45 min one-way drive away...I've got to bring EVERYTHING with me. No last minute store runs for us this year.

Not shown in the picture that I'll be bringing with us too: 2 17lb turkeys, celery, onions, eggs, 5lbs (yeeeessssssssssssss) of butter, fruit, all the baking staples (flour, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond flavoring, etc), and of course the Kitchen Aid mixer with all the attachments.

My big splurge this year was that I bought a whip cream maker. It comes with a canister of pressurized air and you hook it up to a contain filled with whipping cream, vanilla (choose a flavor) and nutmeg and whoosh! whipped cream in 5 seconds. SWEET!

Also - rumor has it that someone I just realized I had knew in high school, who also happens to be the chef at Williams-Somona where I was taking those classes....maybe stopping by on Thanksgiving as she'll be about 45 minutes away...oh I guess I could call on her for a shopping run!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
