I have more of an internal spreadsheet, all based on previous experience, but it's fantastic to see someone else's planning. I've also never had to do more than cook for 6 to 8, and I would definitely want something this elaborate for 27!

Among other items (like brining the turkey), I'm in charge of making the cranberry sauce, and I set aside a cup of fresh berries to make a pitcher of cranberry daiquiris. The smoked old fashioned is a nice idea, though.

Apps are the same as we do for most Jewish holidays :) pickled herring, pickles, hummus, olives, cheese, crackers

You had me at 'Appetizers - no one cares'....You have no idea how this spreadsheet has helped me! Thank you!

Love this, but for the record, I don't want any responsibilities other than (i) financial sponsor and (ii) last minute grocery runs. And no boxed stuffing -- skip it entirely and make extra mashed potato and mac and cheese (but I accept and encourage canned cranberry sauce)!
