Three to five days ahead of time Robin starts to finalize the guest and menu, to organize what all she needs from the store. She needs to make sure she has everything before she begins baking the goods. For instance we didn't shoot a turkey last year so she went to the store and bought one. she checks her spice cabinet as well to make sure she has the spices needed to make the pie.
A couple of days before. This is the time that she starts baking the pies. The Pumpkin pie, the cherry pie, the strawberry pie, or any others that she bakes. She also cooks the appetizer. She cooks them now so that she doesn't worry bout them later. She also cooks them ahead of time to be able to take her time on the food and make them look nice. she makes meat trays, veggie trays, cheese trays, and deviled eggs.
A day before. At this point, she can begin actually prepare some of the thanksgiving dinner. She makes the cranberry sauce, the stuffing, and the mashed potatoes. AS she prepares the food she takes the turkey out to thaw. Once the potatoes are nice and soft she puts them in the mixer and mixes the potatoes with a little bit of milk, butter, and garlic. As she finishes these she has nothing left to do till tomarrow.
Thanksgiving day. She can now pull out the appetizers and food. She takes the stuffing and stuffs the turkey with it. She then puts the turkey in the oven periodically checking the turkey to inject it with marinade, making the meat nice and tender. She uses the neck of the turkey, milk, flower, and butter to make a very nice gravy. once the turkey is finished she calls everyone to come eat.
I can almost smell the baking and cooking taking place, Sean. Continue to think further about description not JUST being a LIST of specific items, but the picture you paint with words ABOUT those items.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, I see that you have made some adjustments to your indeterminate pronoun usage in this revision, but you will need to continue paying attention to avoiding this convention error.
