Today I am going to get most of my baking done. I’m going to make Marthas Mile High Apple Pie. And I think I’m also going to make some cranberry-cornmeal cookies. I’ll also get the refrigerator rolls started.

Today I also have to clean and prep the turkey. This is my absolute LEAST favorite part of Thanksgiving cooking. Next time I cook a turkey, I vow to buy an already thawed one. Eewww, it just grosses me out to deal with raw poultry. But I think the thought of pumpkin pie and apple pie will keep me going. Mmmmmm…..
