I read a piece the other day which was heartening: evidently the first time Martha Stewart did family Thanksgiving, 50 years ago, she burned the turkey to a crisp and had to scramble around to find another turkey. Dinner was six hours late. That's far worse than any mishaps I have had.
For only the 4th time since 1974, I am not doing the turkey etc. Last year just about did me in (35 people, two turkeys, 10 pounds of potatoes, two gallons of gravy, etc etc). So my brother, who is an excellent cook, said if I did the pies and stuff he would do the turkey etc. We're still going to be at my house, but he's doing the heavy lifting.
