Gonna be easy this year....HA!
Nov 26^th, 2008 at 8:17am

We are going to my brother's house for Thanksgiving this year.

So.....I won't have to get up at 3:00 am to start baking pies (I'm nuts and think they have to be made the day of) and then continue with the rest of the meal.

All I have to take is:
Pies
Cake
Shrimp w/homemade cocktail sauce
Meatballs
Assorted cheese and meat tray
Variety of crackers
Stuffing (made from scratch cornbread one like Mama makes)

Sure am glad I don't have to do much...... Roll Eyes

Jacks,
Aww, Jacks!! That's enough food Cheesy

to BE the meal.......and a lot of work!after 35 yrs, my deed is finally done, I believe. When GG died last month, my darling daughter came and took the turkey roaster home, eXplaining I ha done the duties for long enough!
Today, rather than polishing and baking and prepping, I am gonna be geting a mani and pedi and surfing the web....I am doing nothing....we are a skosh concerned, however.....since Dana is vegan.I warned her, after all the years that roaster has been around, it is soo steeped in turkey drippings, a tofurkey would meltdown in it!
Spose I get to take home leftovers???

Happy Gobbling Day, everyone!!

Lots of veggies and breads and sides?? Charlotte

Sounds good, Jackie.
I already baked my two pecan and two pumpmkin pies. No responsibility for the bird this year for me. That's good and bad.

For my pie crusts, I use the standard Better Homes and Garden recipes. The caveot is I use a marble pin and board that I chill outside overnight to roll out the dough.

Cornbread stuffing? Would you share your recipie?

As usual, we will be going to my sister-in-law's house this year (her kids live closer to her, so it's just easier, plus, the clean-up is left to somebody else). My dressing is soaking and I will bake it today, so all we have to do is warm it up. I baked the pecan pie yesterday. Today, after I get off work, I will come home, make a lemon icebox pie, corn casserole, and the giblet gravy. Jimbo is taking off at noon because he has 4 turkeys to fry. We're thinking that there's going to be around 19 people this year, so damned glad it's at her house instead of mine.

I get that but my ex, Renee, did not. She could never understand how I could look at a recipie, close the book, and cook/bake or never even open the cook book but just cook.
I have made some great dishes in my life but only ONE time...
I also have found that bread recipies must be exact. Deviate one bit and POOF. You got a brick in your oven/bread machine.

Looking forward to the recipie.

Seems you have your work cut out for you, but there's nothing like mom's! I wish I had a chance to make Thanksgiving dinner every few years - we stopped having it at mom's and my sister "Martha Stewart" is the automatic default. Enjoy the "break" LOL! Patty
