Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and I like to get as much done in advance as possible. I bought a huge turkey and roasted it on Friday. I carved it and saved all of the white meat for The W's and used the rest to make my Thanksgiving gravy, which I freeze. This gave me eight quarts of some of the best turkey gravy!
I also canned my cranberry sauce. I ran out of jars so my husband got a container of the un-canned leftovers to eat on his oatmeal. It's his favorite time of the year. No one ever returns my canning jars, do you have the same problem? I am going to make a second batch of this as soon as I get more jars.
I made a loaf of our "daily bread" in between these other tasks. Tomorrow will be the pie crust making marathon. I am always so happy when I have pie crusts in the freezer. Do you prepare things in advance.

The jar struggle is real.
I even cooked black-eyed peas for NYE in case I am feeling unwell and do not want to cook them.
When I sold jars of pepper jelly, people commented about the price, saying it was too high as they bought it. I offered to buy back the jars. Only one person ever brought back the jar for a refund. So, people are not interested in returning a jar even for money...lol. When anyone gave me a jar of anything, when I finished with the contents, I washed the jar, put a piece of paper in the jar with their name on it, and set it on the counter in my way so I would not forget. People commented that they never got their jars back. When I moved here, Tommy had canning jars, Tupperware and even dishes of mine that he had no idea were mine! I reclaimed it all.
