Thanksgiving Wrapup

Most everything turned out really well. A couple of notes/things to remember:

1. When using someone else's oven, be way more careful about monitoring that things are cooking evenly.
   
2. The America's Test Kitchen trick of cooking the sweet potatoes mostly in their own liquid works really well and produces really tasty mashed sweet potatoes.
3. Steve and Dianna's idea of buying a bunch of disposable storage containers before Thanksgiving and then sending everyone home with leftovers is really clever.
4. I should make stuffing more often... it's good. Of course, I say this every thanksgiving.
   

Something to try in the future: the basic mushroom stuffing thing could probably be a main dish. Add pieces of pre-cooked turkey or chicken before baking.
