Thanksgiving Dinner
Nov 22^nd, 2009 at 12:57pm

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)
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce (jellied)
Pickles
Green Olives
Dinner Rolls
Pumpkin Pie
Sweet Potato Pie
Cool Whip

I think that's it.

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!

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

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.

George

Spice chiffon cake

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!

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!

Beth
