1. Pie dough for pecan pie in freezer
2. Puff pastry for tart tartaine in freezer

Have to make:
Vegan roast
Find good Brussels sprouts
Make scalloped Japanese sweet potatoes
Gravy
i forgot to order my tofurkey roast
@Bliss we make them at home. Hell of a lot cheaper than buying from store
I just decided to forgo a "main" this year. It's just me, and I always make WAY too much food.
I also don't try to make it all for Thursday, but extend the cooking over the weekend. (Typically, the dessert happens on Saturday.)
This year, I'm making stuffing w/ leeks and chestnuts; a "stuffed mushroom" casserole w/ vegan sausage; mashed potatoes; braised cabbage w/ apples; and a ginger-pear-galette w/ cranberry glaze.
wow!
I made a batch of 100 regular & 10 vegan holiday pasteles with my primas last weekend. This weekend its arroz con gandules in batches, arroz con dulce, coquito y flan.
I order a piece of lechon for my son mid December con chicharon because i have my limits on touching meat. making chicken for him Im ok with but everything else he makes it except lechon. that takes patience & skill.
@Bliss @tyghebright After turkey day I go full puertorican Xmas.
I have the stuff for the pasteles. Making a dozen or so regular with pork and garbanzos for husband and me; making another dozen or so vegan with TVP instead of the pork for our daughter. Have some morcilla and pernil in the freezer, coquito in the fridge, will make some tostones, arroz con dulce, and, maybe, some tembleque.
And yes, this is for 3 people and I do all the cooking
I was inspired by people talking about how terrible green bean casserole is. And I like to have a mushroom dish at Thanksgiving.
So I'm thinking mushrooms, spinach, vegan bratwurst, wheat berries, homemade mushroom soup with vegan sour cream, and topped with fried onions.
you're making me hungry
@tyghebright @Bliss Do know that this is for an omnivore, a vegan, and me, an in between. No one else is getting any, we have no friends, family, acquaintances. We eat like pigs, leftovers to fridge and freezer. We will be eating from this till Xmas when we do it all over again but with lechón, pasteles, arroz con gandules
