Recommended: Why is planning necessary

Whether you're having a small gathering of people for Thanksgiving dinner or the entire extended family, you'll need to plan ahead to ensure that the day stays as stress free as possible.

Plan the Menu
You know you'll need turkey and stuffing, but what else will you prepare. Figure out if you need a few desserts or if one will suffice. To know how much you'll need to prepare, find out how many guests are expected to attend. While the holiday head count can fluctuate, you should have a general idea of who is coming. Always try to be prepared for more people though. It's better to have too much food than not enough.

Make the Shopping List
Shopping is one of the hardest parts of the holiday meal. You'll definitely have to make more than one

  • An Essay About Turkeys At Thanksgiving

    243 Words  | 1 Pages

    This is a disgrace! To all the turkey’s at Thanksgiving! forty-five million turkey’s are cooked a year. Not only are those awful humans eating us, now they are entrapping us in disgusting cages and making us eat only corn and soybeans. That’s not even the worst part, they put something in our food called vitamins and minerals. I heard yesterday from keith, my turkey friend, that they talk about how they feed turkeys healthy things so that the people who buy the turkeys won’t get sick or something like that. They also say we taste different at different ages.

    Thanksgiving Day is a day of family, food, and giving thanks for the blessings in life and yet some people believe Thanksgiving to be a prep day for Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. The focus of Thanksgiving shifted from family bonding to incessant shopping. This trend of taking away from the hours of Thanksgiving in order to shop is enraging. It steals away from family time for the shoppers and the employees. Employers threaten workers that if they do not work on that certain holiday, they will be fired. Black Friday should be kept to Friday instead of moving in on my family time. The whole culture of Black Friday has become repugnant and unnecessary.

    During fall, the leaves fall, the temperature drops, and people sit around a table and say what they are thankful for.

  • Thanksgiving: A Reflection on Humility and Family

    1123 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thanksgiving is undoubtedly a holiday to celebrate family. It also celebrates many other things, as the name suggests. Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks for the things that a person has rather than to wish for more things. Accomplishments and shiny cars are not part of the essence of Thanksgiving, as these do not have the inherent humbleness expected of the holiday. This air of humility and frugality, harkening back to the days of the pilgrims and Native Americans, is probably what lead Ellen Goodman to describe the holiday as a suppressing of individualism. However, the rift between individuality and family that Goodman describes in Thanksgiving is not as deep as she makes it seem, and Thanksgiving Day is hardly the only day of the

  • A Guide to Colling Irish Dishes

    First we must note all the ingredients, as they are what make our dish. Important; no? having them set up ahead of time, or at least in easy reach, is a great tip I use when making any meal. Mostly because I hate sprinting around the kitchen looking for something. The recipe I use, getting it from my mother, calls for simple tools, made more modern by necessity and time. A skillet or deep pot, a slow cooker, spoons for stirring (you may want more than one if you have something against foods touching), measuring cups, and mixing bowls (at least two). Have the cold foods (those kept in the refrigerator andor freezer) - being: 2 lbs beef chucks (when room temperature cut into 1 to 1 12 inch cubes), 1 lb of carrots (peeled and chopped into 1 inch chunks), 1 to 2 white onion(s) (cut into large chunks).

    On November 26, 2009, Thanksgiving day, I could hear men shouting, “ Give me everything!” outside of my house. My father had told us, children, to stay inside while he headed out into the chaos. My little sister began to weep so my older sister and I put some of her favorite music on but very low. “ Cierra los ojos y no pienses en lo que está pasando afuera. Close your eyes and don’t think about what’s happening outside.” She stopped sobbing and I was relieved. My little cousins did the same thing as my sister. I decided to take a peek at what was happening considering that my head had already been filled with curiosity. I saw two men wearing ski masks outside my house, one of them holding a bag and the other pointing a gun at my father. I

    Life lessons are learned daily. Therefore, the theme of my dinner party is going to revolve around life lessons. I am inviting William Wordsworth, Frederick Douglas, Henrik Ibsen, and Lord Tennyson. William Wordsworth writes on what none of us want to hear. We all have flaws in our religious walks, but they so often go ignored. “He turned the readers’ attention away from classical models and Gothic supernatural stories to everyday emotion and imagination, championing the spontaneity of authentic feelings.” (Puchner et al. 919;1). Frederick Douglas is straight up and to the point. There is no sugar coating slavery from him; he tells us the true encounters slaves faced. In his writing Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas An American Slave
