Thanksgiving 2025 - Let the Preparation Begin

 Thursday, November 27, 2025

A little after 10:00 Dale pulled the turkey out of the fridge to wash it off. 

The giblets, of course, were set aside.

I helped pat it dry. It'll go in about noon but it can sit out until then. 

We started getting the cranberries ready at 10:20. The recipe calls for  2 cups of water and 2 cups of sugar. We never add that much sugar as it ends up a little too sweet. Dale said he put in about 3/4 cup.

When the water boiled Dale added the cranberries and stirred them over medium heat. 

Dale had them in a bowl by 10:45.
