Learning how to prepare a
Thanksgiving feast. First, the
vary day before cook your tur-

for desert. The day of Thanks-
giving day put out snacks like
cheese. Also make salads. Buy
all of this ahead of time please.
Salad spoils quickly. So buy
it two days before, so it won’t
spoil. Remember desert is op-
tional. You choose if you want
it. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
