Who else is cooking today..?

Question

I just made my last store run for ice & some fresh produce this morning, and gathered some herbs from my porch. 

It's raining. I got on a nice pot of coffee and a movie (Homeward Bound). 

My boys are with me, they just did the latest round of dishes and will be starting their cookies & pumpkin pudding in edible chocolate cups... I can't wait to sample one of those concoctions.

So I made the brine, the turkey will be ready to go in soon. 

The sweet potatoes have been par-boiled, we assembled the casserole right in a crock pot dish & put it in the fridge, so it's all ready to just go in tomorrow. 

The cranberries are cooked and chilling. 

I'm about to start shrimp cocktail.

Basically I'll have little to do tomorrow, mostly reheating & serving.  

Who else is keeping busy today with Thanksgiving-y chores?

I'm getting the  pork Saurbraten ready for tomorrow, easier than a beef one that has to marinate for 72 hour, this one only has to cook for 6hrs in dry red wine.
oh and its sunny here in the 40's but Thanks Giving Day is supposed to be in the 60's.
I have espresso to drink right now.
Brine? Isn't that salt water?  We don't eat the store bought turkeys, the butterball ones and other factory farmed birds have been so genetically and hybrid mutilated that they get so fat they are left crippled.  When we do have turkey, it is wild hunted from my family's ranch in Nebraska. 
I hope at the least, you are eating a Heritage turkey, they can be store bought and are very good, not as dry as a wild one.

Oh, I was cooking. From 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. when I got off work! :) OK, so I probably won't be cooking anything tonight, but tomorrow the home-cooking will start around 6 a.m.
