What will be on your table?

Here is what I am making (by myself as Jesse and Lily will be hunting and my Grandma B. is too fragile to help)...

Roast Turkey
Stuffing (Stove-Top, lol)
Green Bean Casserole
Carrots w/butter & brown sugar (I don't like beans)

Sweet Potato Pie
Cool Whip

WHAT?????   No crusty bread?  Me thinks you're slippin Pegg.   ;)

First year in a VERY long time that I won't be cooking.  Jimi and Ruth's daughter have adopted me into their family for a day.  I'm bringing a strawberry cheesecake and a sweet potatoe casserole though.

Well, we go down to my sister-in-law's for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so we split the cooking.  Here's what I"ll be making and carrying

Cornbread dressing-(Mel, if you want an easy recipe for dressing, just let me know).  I took over the dressing from my Grandmother years ago.
Fried turkey
Giblet gravy
Rolls
Spice chiffon cake

Sister-in-law is baking the ham, making deviled eggs, butterbeans, candied yams and I don't know what else.  Then niece-in-laws' will be contributing their fair share.

Don't even know how may people will be there!

As long as there's a napkin on the table, I'll be making a messy one.

I think that's the first mention of hunting this year on the board.  Good luck Dad and Lily!

Well, nothing will be on MY table.  It will be whatever the restaurant might have on their menu.

This year will be  the first time in the 40 years of our marriage, (43 years of being together), that Tarey and I will be completely alone on Thanksgiving day.

Amanda, her Jason and baby Delia can't come home for Christmas (Jason is working that weekend), so
originally we thought about going to Christine's for Thanksgiving, and spending Christmas with Amanda, but we decided there was NO WAY we were not going to be with both of our granddaughters at some point over Christmas - just won't work.

So, Tarey and I decided to do the travel loop at Christmas, visiting both daughters and our babies and sharing our favorite holiday with everyone.

It actually works out well, because once we made this decision, guess what.  Amanda brought Delia up here this weekend, and Christine brought Maegan up here this weekend.  We just spend a wonderful weekend with our daughters and granddaughters.  Last night was Thanksgiving for us.  We had baked ham, AuGratin potatoes, Swiss corn casserole, Mandarin Orange salad, pumpkin and apple pie. 

Yesterday was MY Thanksgiving.  Wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving, just like mine was.

Sandy

Dead animals, vegetables, and yummy stuff.

Jim is welcome here if he's not included in the adoption proceedings!
;)

1. Brined, roast turkey (brining mix includes sea salt, sugar, garlic, mustard seed, rosemary, black and white peppercorns, sage, and lemon and orange peel.)  Turkey will have wedges of orange and lemon inside, and an onion.  I don't put stuffing inside the turkey anymore.

2. Fresh cranberries.

3. Wild rice and brown rice stuffing with toasted, sliced almonds and dried cranberries.

4. EJ's family recipe bread stuffing.  Has herbs, boiled eggs, hot Italian sausage, and celery in it.  (Don't remember what else--she and her sisters have a "dressing party" every year where they make it and imbibe mass quantities of martinis.  My job is to serve as a martini taster.)

5. Mashed potatoes and turkey gravy.  I use fresh rosemary leaves in the gravy.

6. Couple different vegetables.

7. Acorn squash.

8. Yams.  I'm not a big fan, but others like them.

9. Hot apple crisp with whipped cream.

10. Pumpkin pies.  Ellen makes these.

11. El tells me she's going to make some fudge.

I really enjoy Thanksgiving...  I get to spend most of the day cooking with my daughter.  She's great company.  :)

Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving, all.

Yup!  Glad to know he will get to eat!

If Angie and I weren't working Thursday we would have a Turkey dinner for sure even though we have already had our Thanksgiving last month.
I posted pics of our Thanksgiving Dinner Bird and expect the same from you's! ;D
Enjoy your holiday everyone. :)

Carolyn made me one of these when we were in Dallas - oh wow it was good! That really is a stupendous cake.

I adore wild rice, I love pumpkin pie - I wish I was having dinner with all of you!

I'll be thinking of you though and Jasper, Barney and I will have our own version of "Thanksgiving" here this weekend and raise a glass to you all. Actually Jasper has been sitting here this last half hour making his christmas card list for cards to make this weekend.
I just hope I can afford all the stamps!

Good LORD!!!!  I'm starving after reading this thread!!!!

Jeannie

I finished (finally) my shopping for Thanksgiving last night.

On the menu
Roast Turkey
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Sweet Potato Casserole
Stuffing
Broccoli and Cauliflower
Dinner Rolls
Cranberry Sauce
Pumpkin Pie and whatever else my sis brings for dessert

Since we eat later in the afternoon, I also make apps...
Stuffed Mushrooms
Spinach Roll
Bean Salsa & Chips

This is all I can think of right now.  I know I'm forgetting something.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

That's okay Mel, I was planning on working a half day tomorrow and I just realized that there is no way in hell I can do that!  So, now, tomorrow will be devoted to getting ready for Thursday (at least it's not at my house!).

Melly, the timing just somehow works! get the turkey in first, and go for priorities!
I'm not cooking again this year. My daughter Dana will do the honors. It always scares me a bit, since she is vegan, but she borrowed my roaster and PROMISES not to make tofurkey... I'll toe-KICK her right into the next century if she does!
Our menu is very similar to Melly's with the addition of a family traditional emerald salad... a jello concoction from my Grandmother's heyday.
I don't care for pumpkin or yams, nor am I fond of cranberries, but I am totally jonesin for turkey!!!
Dessert will be pumpkin sheesecake and a dutch apple pie!
Some here may remember One-Eye Blind, aka Nancy..she's working in a grocery store and commented today on how many people buy everything pretty much already prepared.....canned gravy? Instant mashed potatoes?? OH PUHLEEZ! Make it real!
Unbutton the jeans, sit back and enjoy the feast!
Happy, PF Day to all.........
Cathi

I don't know the specifics of the menu that my cousin and family will provide. It's always good though because he knows that I have his 1971 Bronco in my garage.  8-)I always buy the beer though.

Ummm....heeellllooooo, you people are holding out on me!?!?!  Give it up Mel...I was just searching for a sweet potato casserole, never made one before!!

We will be having 16 people in our home and we (yes, DJ does cook folks) will have the following:

two turkeys
ham
green bean casserole
brocolli cheese casserole
stuffing
corn
sweet potatoe casserole (as long as Mel hooks me up)  ;)
mashed potatoes
cranberry salad
deviled eggs
bunch of munchies....

From our family to yours...may you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

We love you...  :)

Make the 2 pies today. Right after you put the turkey in to start roasting, make everything else.  All your dishes can be heated back up.  When you take the Turkey out you'll need to let it "set" for 10 or 15 mins. and then carve it..that's when you put all of your other dishes in to heat up.

Sweet Potato Pie (from Mike Day) Ingredients: 1 1/2 C. mashed boiled sweet potatoes 1/2 C. honey 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 3 large eggs 1/2 C. sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 C. pecan pieces or whole pecans (optional)  1 - 9 inch deep dish unbaked pie shell Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix sweet potatoes, honey, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually beat in sugar and vanilla. Pour the eggs into the potato mixture and mix well. Add pecans, if desired, and pour into pie shell.  Bake 1 hour or until a knife inserted into center comes out clean.

;D  My little sister decided to get married tomorrow so I'm having ITaliaN  [smiley=confused.gif] for turkey day.   :o  they decided to cancel our family turkey dinner last minute to opt for the restaurant thing and say there will be turkey there, but i'm a bit skeptical about a nice Italian restaurant that cooks pasta and pizza wonderfully making a turkey right so I'm opting for the nice Italian dinner.   ;D

Happy Turkey Day all!   ;)

Val

Linda's right, Melly!
With one exception..I have learned to make the mountains of mashed potatoes the day before, while my mixer is out. Put them in a microwaveable bowl after smushing em nice and smooth, and they're ready for the big day, without the mess of mixer!
I also do my whipped cream today, as I am doing the rolls and the pie.....then, only thing on Turkey Morning is cutting chopping & gravying!

As it stands, we might miss all the festivities this year. Gil has a nasty virus and I am not sure I want him in public tomorrow. Fortunately I know Dana doesn't believe in a lot of leftovers so I am prepping the basics...and we'll spend Turkey day in bed till the bird's done..actually, it's sounding quite nice to me as I type it!

Best of Holidays to you ALL! Now, can I take out the Christmas decorations???

Cathi

Spiral cut honey ham with brown sugar & maple glaze (No one here is a big fan of Turkey and we had Turkey at the squadron T-giving meal on Monday)
Dressing - err stuffing
Mashed Potatoes and gravy
Cheesy garlic mashed potatoes
Long Grain Wild Rice (damn picky eaters....)
Mashed Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and pecan 'crust'
Candied Yams (have to make both for the picky eaters *sigh*)
Peaches & Cream Corn (the white & yellow kernel kind)
Corn Souffle
Sugar Snap Peas
Carrots & Parsnips in a honey glaze
Jeweled Cranberry Salad - cranberry juice jelly with slivered almonds, blueberries and grapes etc.)
Pumpkin pie for the traditionalists
Cherry Pie
Pumpkin chiffon tarts in filo pastry shells
Grasshopper Pie w Oreo cookie crust
Pickles (homemade crunchy garlic dills - this recipe is to die for)

A Riesling, a Merlot, a White Zinfandel and sparkling grape juice for those that don't drink alckiehol.

Geez, trying to type this damn list up since this morning, and between 10 a.m. and now it's changed 5 times and had multiple items added.  This is what I get for letting Andrea help with prepping and cooking the meal - something tells me that a 15 y/o doesn't quite fully understand the amount of work involved in a meal such as the above;  and trying to explain to her the concept of preparing that amount of food for a whole FIVE people - umm let's just say I lost that argument - ah well, we'll have enough food for the rest of the week and weekend!

Ok, I need recipes for the sweet potato pie, spice chiffon cake and Grandma's cornbread stuffing at least to start with :)

Cat

I'm a little bit ahead of the holiday, but here's a recipe for those turkey sandwich leftovers on Friday (or even Thursday night!)

Cranberry pecan mayonnaise for leftovers:
Mayo (your choice but I use Hellman's), honey, dijon mustard (your choice of flavor), either jellied cranberry sauce or whole berry (doesn't matter), and toasted pecan pieces.

Mix mayo, honey, mustard and cran sauce together in the proportions you like (should be slightly sweet with a hint of the mustard flavor).  Fold in pecans,  spread on bread, slap on turkey and cheese, or lettuce, and munch away!

Peaches & Cream Corn (the white & yellow kernel kind)

Explanation desperately needed or I am going to think that was a typo.  :-? 


 and Cat, do you realize you've got 5 desserts plus other sugary things in your menu?  How many people are you going to have????

Spicy Chiffon Cake

2 cps. sifted flour
1 1/2 cp. sugar
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup cooking oil
7 eggs separated (bring the eggs to room temp. 
                            before using)
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Preheat oven to 325 F

     Sift together, flour, sugar baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cloves into bowl.  Make a well in the center.  Add oil, egg yolks, and water.  Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 1 minute,   (Or by hand until smooth).

     Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in another bowl until stiff peaks form, using electric mixer at high speed.  (This is why you bring your eggs to room temp, the whites will form up easier).

     Gradually pour the egg yolk mixture over the whites, gently folding just until blended (I recommend using about a 2 " wide rubber spatula).  Pour into ungreased 10 inch tube pan.  Pull metal spatula through the batter once to break large air bubbles.

     Bake in 325 oven for 55 minutes, then increase the heat to 350 F and bake 10-15 minutes more, until top springs back when touched lightly with finger.  Invert tube pan on funnel or bottle to cool. When completely cooled, remove from pan.

      Frost with 7 minute frosting or seafoam frosting.

It's a moist enough cake that you really don't need to frost it.


For anybody who really likes to bake, try to find the 1979 edition of Farm Journals Home Baking Book.  You can't buy them new.  I have two now, the first being in deplorable condition where it's been used so much.  I found the second one on the internet from a used book seller.

Well, many of the "rest of my kids" will be around Saturday, so I'll be cooking twice.  I have to work Friday, but will send Dyl to the store Friday on my behalf. 

Saturday's Thanksgiving dinner with the "rest of my  kids" will be...

3 whole roasted Chickens with Rosemary Garlic baste
cranberry/cornbread/pecan dressing
green bean almondien
carrot coins/honey/butter
garlic mashed taters and gravy
pumpkin cake with cinnamon crumble and icing.

I'm sure glad there is going to be a brood here to do the dishes...lol.

Erm, well ya see Linda.... LOL
Peaches and Cream corn is whole kernel corn from the Peaches and Cream corn on the cob kind... It has white and yellow kernels and is super sweet.

As for the number of people here for dinner, well let's see, there was me, Clark, Ayden, Andrea and her boyfriend Robert, and umm Alex, who has a super massive black hole in the center of his stomach - at least we theorize he must have, since the amount of food the boy can put away is inhuman!

So, umm, yup, 6 total for dinner.  The menu was as extensive as it was for 2 reasons; 1.  Andrea was having a go at her first time cooking (or helping cook really) a holiday meal.  2.  We have a house full of picky eaters, but mostly because I am simply incapable of cooking a holiday meal in small amounts;

I grew up being told repeatedly that no one would ever go hungry at our table.  Dad was of the mind that if you had 10 people for dinner, then each dish should be able to feed 10 people, as in, if there was no other food available, 10 people would walk away from the table completely full from just one dish - so each dish is done in a way that it can feed an army :-/

I was able to convince Andrea that she needed to pare down her menu, and we eliminated all but 3 desserts, a pumpkin pie, a cherry custard pie, and a caramel apple deep dish pie.  She is going to make the creamy pumpkin pie and the pumpkin chiffon tarts today....oy.  So we ended up with
brown sugar and maple glazed ham (an 8lb ham)
mashed potatoes and gravy
a large dish of cornbread stuffing
sweet potato pie with brown sugar and pecan crust
candied yams
corn souffle
peaches and cream corn
sugar snap peas
veggie tray
fruit tray
jeweled cranberry shimmer (jell-o mold with grapes, blueberries, raspberries, almond slivers and a ring of strawberries on top)
plain rolls and honey butter flaky rolls
sweet petite pickles, dill pickles and olives
vanilla ice cream
peppermint ice cream
whipped cream for the pumpkin pie
mini quiches

Andrea is going to make the pumpkin chiffon tarts, creamy pumpkin pie (it's like a cheesecake almost), deviled eggs and long grain and wild rice today to go with the left overs, and there are LOTS of leftovers!!

Oh, and the corn souffle she made is absolutely to-die-for!!

So yeah, I easily had enough food prepared to feed 25 people or more, and there are enough groceries to make more food to feed an additional 25 people with the left overs and the items she is making today.

I have to say though, it was utterly comical watching her learn to prepare a holiday meal, an trying to coordinate everything so it was all ready at the same time and the hot food stayed hot and the cold items stayed cold!!  *sigh* my little baby girl is growing up....hard to believe she'll be 16 in just over a month.

Anyone up for a second Thanksgiving dinner??

Cat

Just hubby and I this year, but I cooked for about 10 people.  We'll be having leftovers for the next week.  Crystal is here today thru Sunday.  Can't wait to see that brat of mine.

Did someone mention a recipe for sweet potatoe pie?  It's my fave.

Langa

I'm recovered enough to be able to sit up at least. I hope you all had a great day and have the gumption for the "Black Friday" fracus.

I found this site in the NY Times that's fun. Scroll down to the little map and see how we eat:

Lunch always seems to come early the day after Thanksgiving.

I think I'd have to leave out the honey but apart from that little modification (I'll have extra mustard and cranberry!) I can tell you right now that THAT is going to be what I eat on boxing Day this year, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that... hmm.. best be tellin' Paul we need one BIIIG turkey!
Up to now my favorite "leftover" sammich has been either turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce or roast beef with horseradish and a ton of fresh spinach. They're going to take some beating but I think this might just do it.. (although roast pork stuffing and apple sauce deserves an honorable mention too)
