I'm working on my 3rd Old Milwaukee and warming up the toaster oven for the Swanson turkey TV dinner. Life is good.
pretty much every year 6-630. lots of small plate food going on with wine and beer right now.
2:30 and we are done waiting for other family to
come for dessert. Time to sip a Midleton or two till then.

5:00 today. 10 more minutes for the turkey in the deep frier, 30 minutes to rest, and 10 to carve.
The other question is how long after dinner do you wait to have a turkey and mayonnaise sandwich?
Ahead of schedule, but I'm still slaving away in the kitchen. ETD around 4:30 pm CT.
Im a bit curious to hear how Jim Cummings' Turkey Day turns out.

Usually around 1 depending on some ones that like to run late but they didn't show up this year.
You can't fit a Swanson's in a toaster oven. And anyone on their 3rd Old Milwaukee would have to be posting from the can.
Funny. 30 years ago the wife and I did that for our first Thanksgiving dinner.
We've migrated to the real thing with all the fixings. Timing is between lunch and dinner (3-ish). Later we'll have something real light. This year probably just some fruit and pumpkin pie.

I think between 1-2pm is ideal. Have a great meal, clean up, and set the stage for turkey sandwiches and pie later in the evening. Eating later is such a tease - I mean, what do you do for lunch on Thanksgiving day? Snack until you're rabid? Also, earlier dinner means earlier drinks/cocktails.
We started eating about the time Aretha started the anthem. Finished and cleaned up before she finished.
takes care of the turkeyRuns thru you like $hit thru a goose.
5:00. Then the turkey coma sets in. We always have way too much food - 8 adults and 2 kids but all relatively light eaters. 23 pound turkey was only half consumed. It's all about the sides - mashed and sweet potatoes, bread stuffing, asparagus with soba noodles and mushrooms, cornbread rolls, cranberry sauce, sweet gherkins, olives, etc. Carbohydrate overload. Fell asleep watching wheeler dealer reruns. Now it's 9:00 and I'm awake and starting to think about a snack later on. 3 homade pies only half eaten and some cookies yet to be tried. A few Bourbon balls left as well.
Tomorrow we will make some chili for the pregame tailgate on Saturday.

It was a success, but thoroughly exhausting. The bird was superb.
