Guys, Elena, our favorite COO, returns! In Part 2 of her Thanksgiving hosting debut, the initial panic has subsided, replaced by… something resembling confidence. Groceries: acquired. Decorations: deployed. Food prep: going to plan (mostly, maybe). Will her corporate strategies translate to the kitchen?
Operation Turkey - Beta Testing
The turkey has been secured (free-range, organic, and with an impressive wingspan). The house is undergoing a festive transformation, thanks to a strategic deployment of gourds, pumpkins, and strategically placed twinkle lights. I’ve even designated a “kid zone,” complete with art supplies and a carefully curated selection of age-appropriate entertainment (read: enough to keep them occupied for at least 30 minutes).
Food prep is in full swing. Tía Sofia has graciously volunteered to make her famous flan (a culinary masterpiece that requires a separate insurance policy). I'm tackling the main course, armed with my grandmother's secret recipe and a military-grade meat thermometer. Failure is not an option.
The seating chart is… a living document. I've run multiple simulations, factoring in historical grudges, dietary restrictions, and the potential blast radius of a toddler tantrum. I'm currently workshopping a system of rotating place cards, timed bathroom breaks, and possibly a pre-dinner mediation session. I wouldn't rule out earplugs during dinner. It's Thanksgiving, not a therapy session, but I might need one afterward.
