For some people, the point of Thanksgiving is to gather in the kitchen around the hearth. It’s the only time of year all your appliances are on and warming the house at once: ovens, toasters, microwaves, and every burner on our stoves. All hands are on deck.
For others, this enormous endeavor can prove overwhelming, detracting from the true point of the holiday: gathering with family or friends. On any given year, many people fall in-between as we are all variously bogged down in holiday ephemera. This is a list for any and everyone who has ever wanted (or, let’s be honest, needed) a helping hand.
