And FYI, I've made Thanksgiving dinner on a tiny alcohol stove several times.
But, but, but what about the butterhorn rolls? No way is it Thanksgiving dinner without the butterhorns.

And as for budgets, I've been checking http://www.steepandcheap.com/ for bargains for years now. I made the quilt, as well. Making your own, buying cheap and in dribs and drabs is one way to keep the budget from (obviously) busting.
