Holy moly!!!! I'm impressed. I don't think I could plan all that out like that. Or have the room to store it all.

WOW

[prmom]

I didnt cook it all at once... So the storing isnt that hard. We do have an extra fridge down in our basement that we use around the holidays when absolutely necessary. It isnt the most energy efficient thing.. but it works in a pinch.

I am in the process of making turkey pot pie now... smells soooooo good.
