Thanksgiving will be here in just over three weeks.
If you have company coming, now is not the time to launch any big home improvement type projects. I’m not talking about necessary repair, if you have a hole in your roof, by all means get it fixed. If you’ve never played host over a holiday, don’t add in the stress of painting a room or gutting a bathroom over the next few weeks.
You see that handy post-it in the upper right?* Those chores will take you through your house or apartment three times before Thanksgiving arrives. Add in 10 – 15 minutes of The Secret to a Clean Home every day and you will be company ready long before Thanksgiving gets here.
If you’re a novice cook and you’ve never cooked for company or roasted a chicken, you have homework.
If your house is a disaster and you don’t know where to begin, check out Getting Started on Your Messy House or start with the sink.
The recipes from Sunday will start appearing this afternoon. I normally try to space things out, but this month I want to be sure everything is up in plenty of time for pre-holiday grocery shopping. If you’re new to Home-Ec101.com, the norm is once per day with a recipe or two a week.
*If you’re reading via RSS or email, it’s only visible on the site itself, I haven’t figured out how to make it show up in the feed, too.
Looking forward to the cranberry/apple/sage stuffing recipe! I want to make that for Thanksgiving dinner at the mother-in-law's
