If you want to do something more interesting with the carrots, consider the
recipe Pennies From Heaven in The Silver Palate Cookbook. In addition to
being delicious, it is great cooked ahead and reheated. The only change I
make is that I do not cook the carrot "coins" as long as they suggest.

Is having it at your house not a good idea?? I'd hate to do the whole
meal in someone else's kitchen wondering where this is located, where
is that, do you have this, and on and on. And packing up all you
might need would be aggravating for me.

What's TG? What's with the usage of SIL and TG when you take the time
to write out and entire story?

SIL = Single Indian Lady
TG = Trans-Gendering

Everybody knows that.

My "sister-in-law" does not want to go anywhere because she will have
just had surgery.

I *never* do "interesting" things on "Thanksgiving," and don't like
carrots unless they are well done.

I'm trying to figure out what TG is myself. SIL = son in law I
think. TG? The Godmother, The Godfather, ???

Sorry. Sister-in-law. At this time of year, I thought Thanksgiving
would be obvious.

Got it! And I knew what SIL was when I read 'she.' I think the
others are just jerking your chain.

Thanksgiving took place here in Canada a while ago.

And when you Canadians talked about Thanksgiving a while ago, the rest
of us didn't get all exercised about it, did we? No. So don't play dumb,
Clyde!

Could we please get back to the original post? Most of that menu sounds
like it could easily and safely be nearly complete the day before at home in
familiar territory. Too many unknowns for cooking in someone else's
kitchen. Just a simple little thing nobody thought to mention like the oven
runs 30° high could cause you some grief. Polly

I am so sorry. She will have already been through enough. Why torture her
with your type of cooking?
