嘮叨的律律媽媽

EARLY NOVEMBER
Choose a menu (we have four great ones to suggest).
If you're ordering a fresh turkey, do it now; if you're buying a frozen turkey, you still have time, but don't wait until the last minute. Remember: It's best to allow four to five days for it to thaw. (For advice on buying, defrosting, and cooking your turkey, see How Big a Bird, and Other Turkey Tips.) 我通常都買冷凍火雞因為會比較便宜 可是別忘了要給自己四至五天解凍 在包裝上都會有說明 自己要準敗一個大的鋁 pan 可以莊解凍的水

Floral centerpieces finish off a well-set table. Florists are busy this time of year, so order flowers now. 要定花也要早點定 因為屆時會定不到

FOUR DAYS BEFORE THANKSGIVING感 恩節前四天 Start defrosting the frozen turkey in the back of the refrigerator, where it is coldest.
Compose a shopping list, and purchase all non-perishables. Wait until the day before Thanksgiving to buy salad greens, fresh bread, or seafood. 現在可以先在四五天錢買部會腐敗的食物 例如 pumpkin pie 用的 filling 項新鮮蔬果海鮮一定在前一天買 If you're baking pies for dessert, make the dough for the crust, roll it out, lay it into pie plates, and freeze. 如果考派或甜點 可以把面團先做好放入冰箱

TWO DAYS BEFORE THANKSGIVING 感恩節前兩天Prepare the serving pieces, plates, flatware, glasses, etc.
If you're using cloth napkins or tablecloths, iron them now.
Make the cranberry sauce (try our Cranberry Orange Relish); a couple of days in the refrigerator will give the flavors time to develop.
Homemade stuffing often calls for stale bread; cut and cube the bread now, and set the cubes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. 可以準備盤子 杯子 燙餐巾和桌布 作紅莓醬 準備stuffing 用的麵包丁

ONE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING 感恩節前一天 Pick up the fresh turkey from the market.
Prepare the stuffing (try our Classic Stuffing), but leave out any raw eggs until you stuff the bird.
Make the Giblet Stock for the gravy. 去取已訂好的新鮮火雞 把stuffing 先做好 也把醬汁做好 將派皮解凍 先將派做好 馬鈴薯先銷好皮泡在冷水中在擱置於冰箱 某些蔬菜 可以先做好 例如 casseroles 可以再加熱 晚上先將桌子 佈置準備好Defrost pie dough; assemble and bake pies.
Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them in a pot of cold water.
Make the vegetables and other side dishes that require baking, such as casseroles, and reheat them tomorrow; or assemble them today, and cook them right before dinner.
Set the table tonight or first thing in the morning.

THANKSGIVING DAY: DINNER AT 5 P.M. (one 20-pound turkey) 感恩節當天 以二十磅火雞計算
9:30 a.m. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator, allowing it to sit for ninety minutes to two hours at room temperature. If your stuffing recipe calls for eggs, add them now. 9:30 先將火機制放一個半鐘頭
11:15 a.m. Preheat the oven, and stuff the turkey. (See Roast Turkey 101 for step-by-step directions.) over 打開把火雞先塞入 stuffing
11:30 a.m. Put the turkey in the oven, basting it every half hour.火雞放入烤箱每半個鐘頭澆汁
12:00 p.m. Chill the white wine.冰好白酒
1:00 p.m. Make the mashed potatoes. Closer to dinnertime, place them in a heat-proof bowl and set them at the back of the stove over simmering water. 把馬鈴薯尼做好格水保溫 要注意防乾
3:00 p.m. Prepare the coffee, but do not brew it until about twenty minutes before it will be served. 客人引用咖啡二十分鐘前 將咖啡做好
4:00 p.m. Check the temperature of the turkey at the thigh, which is the thickest part. If the thermometer reads 180°, remove the turkey from the oven. If not, check the temperature every fifteen minutes until the bird is done. 查看火雞是否已經快好
4:15 p.m. The turkey will need to sit for thirty minutes prior to carving. Take advantage of the break to make the gravy and last-minute vegetables. 火雞要等三十分鐘才能切
4:30 to 5:00 p.m. Call everyone to the table. 優雅的呼喚客人來享用火雞大餐
