Prepare for the Holidays 5 Week Challenge – Week 5 (Last Minute Checklist and Turkey Thaw Times)

by 485 Comments

Thanksgiving

This is Week 5, the last week, of our Prepare for the Holidays 5 Week Series & Challenge!  If you’ve missed the other posts, check them out below to get “in the loop” and hop aboard if you’d like to get prepared early as well.

I can smell the wonderful scents of all the yummy baked goods coming out of your ovens!! Through our previous week’s challenges, we’ve cleaned inside and out, donated some unused items along the way, organized our cabinets, made our shopping lists (that was last week, in case you missed it), and most have already bought all their groceries.

This week, I want to go over a checklist of sorts.  This will basically be your Homework assignment. We’ve accomplished alot over the last few weeks and I hope it all did help you in preparing for your holiday company. Our goal was to make things LESS hectic, so I hope you’re feeling good and LESS stressed!

Your checklist:

Thaw that Turkey! Most of you should already have it in your refrigerator anyway so it’s already started thawing or may have been thawing for a few days.

Refrigerator Thawing Times (via USDA website)
Whole turkey:

  •  4 to 12 pounds ……  1 to 3 days
  • 12 to 16 pounds …… 3 to 4 days
  • 16 to 20 pounds …… 4 to 5 days
  • 20 to 24 pounds …… 5 to 6 days

 

  • Clean out your refrigerator and make room
  • Double check your recipes to make sure you have everything you need (don’t forget the extras like seasonings, plenty of milk, butter, oil, eggs, etc.)
  • Grab some printable coupons for all of your dinner extras that you need to buy!
  • Make sure your camera is charged or has batteries for fun family photos
  • Don’t forget the Reynold’s Wrap & Foil!
  • Eat lots of turkey and ham, enjoy time with your friends and family!

In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the Inet will be much more helpful than ever before. I could not refrain from commenting. I have spent 2 hours looking for such tips. I will also share it with a couple of friends interested in it. I have just bookmarked this website. Right now with the work done, I will enjoy some free online brunette cams. Thanks!! Greetings from Lakeland!

  44. Almost all of the things you point out is astonishingly legitimate and it makes me ponder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. Nonetheless at this time there is just one position I am not necessarily too comfortable with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual central theme of the issue, permit me observe what all the rest of your readers have to say.Well done.

  184. Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but
    I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems
    different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
