So far..

We bought the turkey and about half of what we needed at Costco, even in our hungover state. Plus a bunch of stuff we didn't need of course, because that is how Costco works. Frenchie: "Check out that beef (with stars in his eyes). We should get this. I mean 8 lbs of beef chuck is kind of a lot, but we can always freeze it. And it is only $3.59 a pound! Oh, and look over here! 2 whole chickens for 10 bucks! What a deal!" Emily: "Hey, can you pick up that gallon of whipping cream?" Frenchie: "Are you sure we need all of that?" Emily: (rolls eyes) "It's Thanksgiving!"

You all know what I mean... Well, my family does at least. Whipped cream is important. Way more important than the turkey.

The turkey was a "Fresh, Young Turkey" for 99 cents a pound. Hells yeah! Cheap and I don't need to defrost it. We were wondering; if the young turkey is so cheap, the "Not so fresh, and not so young turkeys" must have been really cheap. Those were apparently sold out though because we didn't see them. : )
Anyway, we went for one that is 20.09 pounds. For the upcoming year (which is going to be a great year, BTW).

I've come up with most of the menu.
