We cooked the turkey (brined it and then cooked it overnight- Nick put it in before he went to bed and I took it out when I got up- worked great)

Other things I made was vegan stuffing and potatoes & peas in a cream sauce (both not too good- kind of grey) garlicy lemon green beans (which I liked but nobody else) pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie. We went to my mom's and she made the sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes.

On Thanksgiving eve we have started a tradition of 'pie night' where everyone comes over and we just eat pie. So good!
