Making one pie berry .. Turkey is 12 lbs us three, thankful for that .. Guess the Wisconsin book thought you needed three cups

I made the cranberry sauce this morning and am thawing out the pumpkin mash for the pie.

I plan on getting the rolls made today and prepping the candied yams and green beans.

I hope to not need to get up super early to bake before putting the turkey into the oven. I do have a large convection toaster oven so can cook 9x13 pans in it. The other two pies and the stuffing will be cooked in it tomorrow.

It is a lot of work but it will be so nice to see the family this year!

I am going to try my hand at a yeast bread for the first time since 1970s.

I need to know what the temperature of warm water should be to bloom the yeast?

When scalding milk do you have to have a certain temperature?

Any help would be appreciated as I'm the blind and need to be led.

Water should be 110 all the books or recipes are about the same

I just take water out of the hot tap. It will be 110° to 115° going into the bowl.

I'm planning to make small rolls with Champlain dough tomorrow. Starter is eating now.

Got a nice little 10# farm raised turkey, shouldn't take too long to roast that.

The book I'm using is a 1940s edition of "The Watkins Cookbook" thanks for your help.

Muchly appreciated.

I prefer my old Wisconsin cookbook and they say that is the easy way

Thank you for your help.

I'll just write the temps in the cookbook.

Best satsuma year I’ve had yet!!! Last year they were pretty styrofoamy but this year they’re perfect. This is from 2 trees! About 120 or so.

Had never heard of satsumas till you mentioned them. Look pretty!
