Dude, Thanksgiving is looking like 19 people.

..

Dude, they don't make turkeys big enough for that many people.

..

Oh, well. We'll have a ham, too.

And did I tell you Jim is working this Thanksgiving? Yeah. He's working.

I've so firmly nixed the idea of any kind of deep-fried turkey at Thanksgiving, it's sad. (When we haven't even tried it on a chicken, at our leisure? No.)

The sweet potato dish gets made ahead and heated through with the topping added at the last minute. The potatoes are a tradition I rarely skip.

1) Get up early and stuff the bird, put in oven.
2) Get breakfast and then start in on the potatoes.
3) Entertain/put to work anyone who shows up afterward.

It works out okay if I set the table up the night before.
