Well, that's hardly the reassurance I was hoping for from this group! But, I'm used to forging ahead on my own. I'll file away those words of wisdom, anyway.

Now I'm on to the side dishes. Having just peeled the potatoes, and finding the skins (my favorite! If my elderly motherdidn't insist, I would leave them on) to resemble little hash browns, I'm trying something new and frying them (the skin peelings)up in butter and sauteed onions for a little snack!

And that poor little turkey is shrinking as we speak (write?)!
