If you are hosting Thanksgiving dinner and you are using a frozen turkey, take it out of the freezer today so that it will have enough time to defrost in the fridge. (This is why you've been emptying your fridge for weeks.)

*I realize that I haven't been around for a while. You know my rule: when things get nuts, pare back the non-essentials. I had to let blog updates wait, but I should be back on track this week. Now stop reading this and go defrost your turkey!
