Cooking with Meg
Well here we are at Thanksgiving time again, and it's time to start preparing for the big meal. I know there are many of you out there who are seasoned veterans at the preparation process, but for those of you who are not I thought it would be helpful to put some reference material out here for you.
Please keep in mind I am no Martha Stewart! I'm just your everyday, run of the mill average person like so many of us are. If you would like to plan your holiday meal in the fancy Martha Stewart fashion she has many suggestions for appropriate glassware, silverware and its placement, name tags, decorating and appropriate candles to have lit for your meal. For most of us the main goal is to make sure the turkey does not explode, and that our house is clean before our guests arrive. If you want to attempt the "overdone" holiday meal please visit her site .
