Thanksgiving Eve

I've been up since 5 a.m.  Soon as I got up I ran to the store for a few things, then came home and have been cooking ever since.  My two turkeys are marinating in the fridge. As a matter of fact one is going into the oven right after this post. They are so huge they barely fit in the roasting pans.  My two hams are prepped and ready. So is the crab stuffing. (This is one of those times when a double oven is needed).

So far things are moving going smoothly.  The eggs have been boiled and peeled for making deviled eggs. Thanks to my mom she's making the macaroni and my aunt is sending a home-made cake and sweet potatoe pie, yum-yum.  I'm using the giblets from the turkey to make the gravy.  That's something I have always done.  I simmer them in some stock from the turkey then add  flour to thicken along with some seasonings. I usually add the necks as well but the are so big (bigger than the turkeys I've used in the past) Not sure what to do with them so I just wrapped them up and put them in the freezer.  They would we be really good fried if they were chicken necks.  I'm not sure how fried turkey necks would taste. LOL

Anywho, I better get back to work.  Time to peel the sweet potatoes.
