Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we can already smell the turkey in the oven as we type this. It’s funny how the older you get, the more Thanksgiving becomes your favorite holiday. With so much good food and spending time with your family, it’s hard not to like any part of it. Actually, there is one circumstance that can make the day lag a little and or even cause blowout arguments.
That circumstance is a kitchen catastrophe - the event in which everyone realizes the proper preparation hadn’t been taken and the organization system failed. That terrible moment when everyone realizes they are going to have to wait an extra 2 hours for the turkey, yikes. Not to mention nobody has eaten yet either, that can make for a grumpy bunch of people.
Luckily, it’s easy to foresee these types of issues and create a plan to avoid them all together so that you can enjoy the day to the fullest. That is why we have come up with a 4-course recipe to successful kitchen organization.
