Before proceeding, I have a few questions to ensure the meal is perfectly planned:
1. Can you confirm the ingredients used in Aunt Linda's green bean casserole, Uncle Joe's pumpkin pie, and neighbor Sam's fresh rolls to ensure they meet the dietary requirements?
2. Would you prefer the vegetarian stuffed mushrooms to be made with dairy-free cheese to accommodate the dairy-free requirement?
3. Are there any other activities or traditions that need to be considered in the timeline, such as watching football or taking a group walk?
