RSSThanksgiving calculator
Here's a useful Excel sheet you can use to calculate how much stuff you'll need to buy for Thanksgiving... Spacejockey writes - "Shopping calculator that will present a complete Thanksgiving shopping list, and how much to cook of each menu item, after just entering a few variables." - Link.
I happen to have Excel on this computer, but it should work in OpenOffice too... Oh, also check out our DIY Thanksgiving post - Link.

Love the story!

This doesn't count kids differently than adults...some kids eat more than I do, and some eat less! If you have light-eating kids, the calculator will comfortably handle decimals. For example, I'd enter 2.5 to feed two adults and a picky 8-year-old.
Also: if you are "cooking challenged" and would like to get the recipes that go with the calculator, visit the original post at christine.net. Feel free to make interesting barter offers. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
