I need to clean the living room yet, got the kitchen done last night. Everyone is comming today so I baked everything yesterday. this way all I need to do is start the oven and reheat everything. Got to pop the turkey in at 11

Fun yeah, i am getting really tired of cleaning lol but some one has to. Oh and mom just told me they can not make it so i dont have to cook the pecan pie. And i am glad i asked yall opinion last night other wise i would have the ham dethawed as well.

You are going to end up with leftovers no matter what. My husband is freaking out about the weather. He says we may be leaving tonight to make it to my parents before the storm. I need to get ahold of my mom tog warn her

@NorthFLChick Here is the toffee recipe. I use a heaping cup of nuts chopped coarsely instead of three fourths of a cup. I make this and give it to people I would like to give something small to with their card.

I have the cracker spread done, flock block made for the girl's treat tomorrow and the pumpkin pie is in the fridge (plus a single pie crust in the freezer for whatever).

DH is making the dressing and cranberry relish either today or tomorrow morning (he's working from home today). That just leaves the turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy and green bean casserole for tomorrow.

Yay, I think it's coming together!

I'm already dreaming of left overs...to me, that's the best part

It is easy, it just takes time. Pull it off right away and add the nuts quickly. Thanks for typing it up. I just have a phone, and am too busy.

I know!

It looks like a good recipe. I have an english toffee recipe that is a bit more complicated.

DIRECTIONS:

Butter a 9x13 pyrex baking pan. Sprinkle with half of the Almonds.

In a large sauce pan melt butter. Add sugars & Lecithin--stir until mixture comes to a boil--add corn syrup--cook on med. heat stirring to prevent burning--bring to 295 DEG. on candy thermometer—test with ice water method. Toffee should be crunchy. remove from heat.

Add salt, & Irish Cream--MIX THOUROUGHLY. Pour onto almonds in baking pan. Smooth with a heat proof spatula. Sprinkle chocolate candy over hot toffee. Let cool and then smooth over. Sprinkle rest of almond on top and let cool overnight-do not put into freezer.
