Think of our 10 Thanksgiving tips as a companion to your important Thanksgiving traditions. Like using gramma’s mashed potato bowl for the mashed potatoes made with at least a stick of butter. And serving the only proper cranberry sauce in its proper can shape, complete with rings. Regardless of weather, the old folks vs. kids football game will happen and it will be competitive as heck. If your tradition is to have a quiet day, tucked up with a blanket, a snack and a good book, we appreciate your astute method of boxing out reality. And finally, if your tradition is to spend part of your day working at a community dinner or delivering meals on wheels, well done by you indeed.
We respect your Thanksgiving traditions. The Vintage Unscripted team each has our own traditions. But we consider ourselves a practical bunch and we love working as a group on listicles, so we put together our list of Thanksgiving tips for some common Thanksgiving situations.
Here they are, presented in graphic form so they’re as easy to digest as a super squishy Thanksgiving roll with the remaining butter that wasn’t used in the mashed potatoes.
That’s our list of Thanksgiving tips. We’re fine with leaving turkey cooking tips to the Butterball Turkey Talk hot line. And we’re glad to leave it to Real Simple to tell you how to set the table properly. We’re fine with having America’s Test Kitchen to tell you how to make mashed potatoes with or without lumps. We instead stuck with big picture tips for situations that are sometimes sticky.
However you plan to spend your Thanksgiving, we hope you are warm, safe and fed.
If you have some tips to add, we would love it if you could share some in the comments.
