Crunch Time, it’s here! Finally

Gingersnap Crust Pumpkin Cheesecake before cookingFull Fridge

OK refrigerator is full to the max. And an extra fridge starting to get full. Enough, I know that I have way too much food but looks like I’m nearing the end of at least the basic cooking, still have to heat everything up tomorrow, bake the brie, bake the salami, put together my crudite, made the stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.  I’ve been talked out of making a salad by everyone I’ve spoken to in the past 48 hours. I will make my butternut squash soup tomorrow, because my soup pot is too big to stick in fridge,  soup for 22 ! Here is the final menu! ( I think) ( I hope) I just want to set my table, and get some rest so I can wake up early tomorrow and start cooking the turkey and do everything that needs to be done last minute. It really is gluttony, but so nice to be with friends and family. Can’t wait to sit down and enjoy the meal with everyone. Wishing everyone a very Happy and Wonderful Thanksgiving, and thanks again for all your support. It’s been so much fun sharing with all of you.
