Right now - I bought everything pretty much everything but the fresh fruit, the kugels and the desserts. I have the soup and the fish cooking. The turkey is defrosting. I'm doing pretty much all the real cooking on Wednesday - the stuffing, the beef stew, the turkey, the noodles for the soup and the carrots.
