[Kitsa]

I had a Tim Horton's chocolate chip muffin with some extra-strong coffee for breakfast. I was up late doing all the prep work for Thanksgiving so I could just shove the majority of it in the oven today. Last night I:

- cleaned, dressed and prepped the turkey (including chopping the mountain of mirepoix)

- roasted chestnuts, chopped them, and made an experimental new chestnut stuffing recipe (smelled good when I added the herbs to the butter...we'll see)

-stewed my special-recipe cranberry chutney on the stove for about 8 hours and continually added liquor to it...

-made yam casserole (whipped yams with a crumble crust of brown sugar and pecans)

-baked and cooled two pumpkin pies

So today all I have to worry about is the mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, and peas.
