Thanksgiving 2010: Fast and Furious

Things are speeding up now. Mama is doing Mark Bittman's 45-Minuted Roasted Turkey, which seems to have accelerated the pace of the day. Though, the kids are still "STAR-VING!" The delicata squash came out delicious. The rolls are, so far, a disappointment, but we'll see how they do in the oven. And now Mama is waving the remainder of the Potato Buds, originally for the rolls, at me--"Will you talk to me if I make these for Sis?" Instant mashed potatoes? Not my family's tradition to have mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving (is that my family's peculiarity or is it regional to eat mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving?) so go right ahead . . . Anything will be good with my gravy!
