Getting ready for Thanksgiving?

Would you believe that the frozen Butterball you’re thinking about buying can take as much as four days in the refrigerator to thaw? Best to buy it this weekend to avoid trouble!! And many stores close on Thanksgiving so a good shopping list is a must. All those items you don’t ordinarily buy take some searching in the store – where are the mini marshmallows and canned pumpkin anyway? And what’s the alternative to that green bean casserole your Mother always made? And what’s the difference between yams and sweet potatoes? Maybe it’s just easier to go out for Thanksgiving dinner!!
