Just closed the kitchen down for tonight.   All is done except for the turkey and stuffing which will get done first thing in the morning.    All my veggies are done, the table is set and I can now sit down, put my feet up and most likely fall asleep in front of the TV before 8PM.    <br /><br />Deb - sorry JD caught up with you.    They don&#39;t give you too much notice, do they?   Will you try and get excused or just go and get it over with?   <br /><br />Jackie - turkey soup is the last thing I do with the turkey as I throw the bones in and any leftover meat on the frame.   I usually crack the frame in half and make turkey veggie soup with half and split pea soup with the other half.   <br /><br />Cheryl - that&#39;s an amazing menu you have planned.   Try not to overdo it and rest a bit.    I know that is easier said than done.<br /><br />Before I forget I have to go take the upper rack out of the oven so the turkey will fit in.   I usually preheat the oven and then find out I have to remove the red hot rack.  Then I have no place to put the hot rack down.     Think I&#39;ll do it right now before I forget.   <br />
