That's excellent.  Please set aside the potatoes and green beans before
adding stuff to 'em.

I was planning on bringing my own dessert this year, so I will not be
using the canned pumpkin.  However, the cranberry sauce sounds great.

I'll be doing most of my cooking on Wednesday.  I'm planning on bringing
my tofu, stuffing, gravy (actually, just the mix), and dessert.

I'll add soymilk to the potatoes for my mashed potatoes.

I'm guessing we'll be there mid-afternoon, probably between 3pm and 4pm.
