risks.

Meal Planning by Mary McDougall
I first
shared this planning schedule with you in 2004 and I heard from
quite a few people who used this schedule and shopping list for a
successful Thanksgiving last year. Since I plan to use this
same schedule, and mostly the same menu, myself again this year I am
