Love this! I struggle between lack of confidence and anxiety with my writing. Finally converting to plotting took care of most of the rest of the issues.

When it comes to turkeys, I've got that covered. My father in law makes a killer turkey every year. We cook it at our house, but he comes over, rubs it up with butter, snuggles it in a big paper bag, waves his hands and says the incantation, pops it in the oven and, poof, a few hours later we have falling off the bone tender turkey. Nom nom nom. 😀

In reply to debherbert2013. I hold you totally responsible for this, Jenny! Once you get her started on her bloated, arrogant spoiled team, there will be no end. You've been warned. Those with good taste, prefer Texas A&M, the best damned team in the SEC. Deb, remember - we've never been beaten - only outscored. A lot.

I live in Alabama - home of the Mighty Crimson Tide. 15 National championships, most SEC championships and NCAA bowl championships than any other college football program in America. Post coming!

In reply to debherbert2013. Where you do you live, Deb? I need to get in on that local smoked turkey deal!! And I'm glad I slay you, because you do the same for me. I can't WAIT for all that "football lingo!!"

In reply to Gloria Richard Author. I am positive they do make GF Nilla Wafers (although I miss the real thing). And WTH is scalloped pineapple? Is this a Southern thing? p.s. I am a tremendous fan of buying spiral-cut hams. p.p.s. You aren't so grateful now because you're getting HOSED on this food-prep deal. :-)

In reply to Jenny Hansen. You, bet, Jenny. Erm. Do they make gluten free Nilla Wafers? I'm not sure I'll get to that turkey in time, so it's honking big turkey legs to the roasting pan. WHOOP! I lied. Looked at my list and I'm also in charge of scalloped pineapple to go with the ham WE ARE BUYING. Why am I suddenly not so grateful for that smoked-by-someone-else turkey?

You slay me, Jenny! For several years now I've taken the easy way out - there's a local BBQ place (yeah, I know, how Southern) that smokes the turkey and makes a killer dressing and sweet potato casserole. Worth every penny.
