NaBloPoMo Day 15: A Visual Thanksgiving Planner
[with apologies to folks not in countries celebrating this holiday, who may be sick of hearing about it]
Partner and I started planning Thanksgiving Dinner the other night. There are going to be anywhere from 7-10 people here. Eesh. I started making a list, but it Did Not Work for partner's brain. So instead we have a visual representation of everything *on* the list, along with symbols for whether it needs to be served hot (prep at the time) or cold (prep before), or if someone else is bringing that particular dish.

sketches of every dish/drink our family hopes to serve at Thanksgiving along with associated symbols and even stick figures of potential guests

In case anyone is interested, here are a couple of really delicious recipes we've used over the years. If you notice that many of them are from FoodWishes, you would be correct.
Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Tangerine Cherry Cranberry Sauce
Pecan and Apricot Sourdough Bread Stuffing
And if you're looking for the Pumpkin Muffin recipe, I'm going to put it below a cut. Might ask partner for links to some of the recipes she knows more about (like crispy duck).
