Thanksgiving Dinner Tips * Thanksgiving * Thanksgiving without regrets...

Beginning of November, not everybody has their Thanksgiving plans in place. It start creeping up on us just as Christmas does every year. That is why we wanted to include a To-do-list/ Planner for your special event here:

Who, Where, When: Who, Where, When and how many friends you want to invite. And…think hard, most of the time people that are really close to you appreciate the invitation more if they see that you did not invite a whole bunch of other loosey, goosey ones…It makes them just feel more special to you!

Invitations: Send out the invitation-list early as you can! That way you make sure that the people you really care about will be able to really be there!

Cutlery and Decoration: It makes a meal a feast if you have your table set up in a way that everybody feels really special.

Meal Plan: The way I got my best recipes through the last few years was on www.foodnetwork.com. They have such many recipes for every difficulty level and every recommended cook out there, you can’t miss!

Purchasing Plan: Buy your Turkey and most of the non-perishable ingredience way in advance, so you do not have to scramble the last day, just to find out that your favorite grocery shop is out of cranberries or other of your Thanksgiving favorites…

Count-down: (1) Depending on your Turkey defrost time (of you have a fresh one, never mind…) you should put it into the fridge a few days in advance to defrost .

(2) Depending on the recipe ( my favorite is the one from Emeril Lagasse, here is a link) few years back on the foodnetwork.com-channel (link).

(3) One day before, you can check your fridge space and prepare the cranberry jelly, cut up veggies and polish the glasses, plates and silverware.

(4) Clean you home! Nothing is more embarrassing than an unclean bathroom. Believe me, you will have lots of leftovers if you do not have a c lean bathroom on the due-date…

THE DAY: Well, you probably know by now, do not party too much the night before…you need all the brain cells you might have for this great and special day. Get a pal or your husband involved (I hear you...); or just get up early to avoid conflicts on Thanksgiving with you better half and do most of it yourself!...

When it is all over and you are sitting in between piles of dishes, a turkey carcass and some drunk friends…just think about how much your friends were appreciating your efforts and will remember Your Turkey-Dinner on this very special Thanksgiving day!
