Well, it's going to be a crazy one.
My brother and I are going to my parent's on Wednesday night. My mother has Parkinson's disease and it has progressed to the point that she can hardly walk, let alone cook a Thanksgiving dinner. She's still great at giving directions from her chair though,
. I am a HUGE HUGE stickler for tradition, so of course the "oh we'll just make it easy and simple" has turned into my brother and I cooking an entire traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Scary!
We're also doing the Christmas tree that day since it's so hard for me and my brother to schedule trips up there. And that in itself is a HUGE deal. We've got a 13 foot tree. So, my dad will be prepping the tree (trimming and doing the lights, which usually takes about 3-5 hours alone).
I'm fine doing the dressing, mashed potatoes, and various sides. No problem. It's the turkey I'm terrified of. I have never cooked a turkey in my life. I don't even know what I'm doing. No clue. So that should be interesting..... Wish me luck!!!!!!
