Day 39 and holiday arguing has officially begun. I  (very) sweetly asked Husband to please grill  turkey outside as have only one oven and will need that to bake pie, stuffing and sweet potatoes. Husband (very) hotly refused - insists barbequed bird not authentic enough for Thanksgiving - a  ridiculous assertion considering Colonists had no self-cleaning ovens and most certainly threw their fowl on the fire. Husband has invited 20 guests with idea that more is merrier.  Thought of 20 for dinner gives me swine-flu like symptoms. We have retreated to opposite corners of the ring.  Seem to remember exact same scenario last year. Unfortunately, cannot recall happy ending.
