Feast

T minus 3 hours until 20 of my closest friends show up for a delish Thanksgiving feast! In college when we got our first apartment my friends and I started a tradition where the weekend before we invited over every friend, classmate or crush that was around for a day of food and drink. Life has separated us through the years since then but the tradition continues. This is my first year hosting and I think I went a little crazy with the invites because nearly everyone I've mentioned it to is planning on coming. 3 of the origial college crew will be here as well as a dozen or so close work friends, dates and various aquintances. Everyone is bringing something.
The one problem with me hosting Thanksgiving dinner is that I have been a vegetarian since I was 8. Elysha came over early and got the turkey rigged up and in the oven but now its up to me to watch, gaurd and baste it. I hope we have enough food and I know we don't have enough chairs. I called my mother to ask how to do the mashed potatos but instead ended up with a recipe for apple stuffing that she claims people will rave over.
T-minus 3 hours and I'm still in sweatpants, with my hair a mess and no make up on.
I need to remember to tidy up the bathroom and vaccum the dust bunnies out from under the couch.
I think that the football game is on at 4 so maybe people, or at least the boys will want to eat in the living room which will free up some seating in the kitchen.
Hopefully we have enough wine, what pairs well with turkey? Having not tasted it in 17 years I have absolutly no idea. Its looking a little brown/blackish in the oven now, maybe I should turn down the tempurature? Also it didn't come with one of those little spiggots that pops when its done so I hope I don't give everyone salmonella poisioning.
Yikes. what did I get myself into?
