THANKSGIVING TIPS 2009
What a fantastic holiday all about food, family & togetherness! Here are a few tips on making your Thanksgiving stress free this year.
5 TIPS to a fun & stress free holiday:
1/ Have each guest bring a favorite dish - if someone hates to cook - have them bring wine!
2/ Buy items that cause stress from your favorite restaurant or catering co.
3/ Have each family member find an old family recipe that has been “forgotten” over the years. I resurrected my grandmother’s 1942 dark fruit cake recipe to give to my mom & aunts a few years ago. They were so touched and had instant memories of their mother (who was an amazing baker!)
4/ Have each guest bring a bottle of wine with a story ~ this makes for a fun and creative way to bring people together at dinner.
5/ I love the phrase “It’s not world peace, it’s Thanksgiving Dinner”. After running to pick up one more last item before dinner, my cousin came home to his dog on the table who had just eaten the entire turkey. All they could do was keep their sense of humor and make do with what they had. We have told this family story for years and still get a laugh!
