Thanksgiving Menu

I have spent all morning deciding what delicious things to eat for Thanksgiving... the best part is that we did Thanksgiving shopping yesterday... So now I have to find things to go with the food that we already bought! Yep thats how I roll...  
so after much flipping of the Martha Stuart Pages 
This is my menu... 

Dry Brined Roasted Turkey (stuffed with apples & onions)
White Wine Reduction Gravy
Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Cornbread, Bacon & Leek Stuffing
Baked Artichoke Hearts
Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Deviled Eggs
Spicy Sautéed Green Beans

Apple Pie
Pumpkin Pie with Fresh Whipped Cream

Right now I am making turkey stock out of the neck and giblets of my freakishly large turkey... I feel really bad eating this obviously massed produced bird and when I move back to the states vow to raise my own or eat wild turkey. And just finished making my cranberry sauce that will hold fine in the fridge till Thursday. Tomorrow I start the dry brine on the freak bird and make the pumpkin pie, Wednesday I make the apple pie... and everything else on Thursday...
 ITS GOING TO BE SOOO GOOD!!!

And Derick and I both have off work on Friday! BOOYAH! Now all we need is a fire place to cuddle in front of and sleep off our food coma!

Nice. I'm excited. Add some thoroughly southern sweet potato casserole and creamed corn to that list.

Will there be anyone besides us 4 there to eat? Otherwise my Africa belly is going to double in size...

Looking forward to it! ;^)
