Thanksgiving is Thursday, but I nearly always start cooking early. Even when I'm not making a lot of food, I want to do as much cooking as possible in advance. It just makes Thanksgiving a more pleasant and relaxing holiday.
Thanksgiving is definitely the cook's holiday. Today I made pumpkin eggnog ice cream and eggnog spice cake (heavy on the spice) with eggnog spice frosting (heavy on the eggnog). I might make the cornbread tonight for cornbread stuffing or I might make it Tuesday.
Class is altering some of my normal cooking routines, but hopefully I will be able to mostly make the bird for the hubby (it's one of the only times a year that I cook meat), biscuits and mashed potatoes on Thursday.
What's left to make in advance? Pumpkin ice cream pie, but I need to use some of the stuff in the freezer first. It's hard to prep for a holiday when you need two freezers and only have one.
Oh, and the New England Revolution lost the MLS Cup. Sadness.
