Everything from my to-do list earlier? It's done! Well, today's list. I wasn't able to get a real head start on my cooking, since upon re-reading my recipes there's really nothing I can make ahead. So I did my prep work (there are lots of little containers of chopped veggies in my fridge) and will have a mad cooking rush tomorrow afternoon. Something is going to turn out less-than-stellar - I poorly planned the side-dish choices, so everything is going to have to attempt to cook at once. And I only have one pan that actually fits in my oven (I knew I should have picked up those aluminum pans at the grocery store tonight...damn me and my cheapskate ways!)

The one thing I did get to make tonight was the rolls. I used good old Pillsbury. Except I've never actually baked Pillsbury rolls before, so I had unwrapped the cannister, and then I was just staring at it, trying to figure out how the hell I was supposed to get at the rolls inside when it suddenly POPPED and exploded open in my hands.

It entertained me so much that I decided to make a double batch of rolls, so that I could make the cannister pop again, but it pre-emptively exploded so I still didn't get to fully enjoy the popping experience :-(

I also burned the bottoms of the rolls a little. I R cooking failure :-(

Hopefully this isn't a bad omen about how my first Thanksgiving feast experience is going to turn out.
