Let the holiday stress begin

We’re hosting Thanksgiving this year for Rockford’s side of the family, and I’m a little intimidated. His sister is a hostess on a par with Martha Stewart, while I’m considering serving our turkey on Chinet. It’ll be a change of pace, at least.

Also, there will be 18 people in our house. Eighteen people to eat the following:

Main dishes

  • Turkey breast
  • Genia’s ham

    Sides

  • Uncle Jimmy’s mashed potatoes
  • Rockford’s grandmother’s seven-layer salad
  • Green beans w/ shallots and red peppers

  • Savory corn cobbler
  • Creamy spinach gratin
  • Sweet Potato Casserole
