We will be going to my MIL’s house for most of the week of Thanksgiving. It will be just the three of us this year. She’s 96 and in decent shape though she has macular degeneration. Feisty lady and pleasant to be with.
I’ll be making a sweet potato dish with apples, pecans, and cranberries. We will roast a turkey breast also. Green beans almondine, homemade stuffing, homemade gravy, and a salad will round things out. Maybe I’ll make focaccia but I haven’t decided on the bread yet.
MIL still has a great appetite. She still eats 3 meals a day (we don’t) and a glass of whole milk. She may live to be 100 at this rate.
After cooking Thanksgiving dinners for 65+ years, my elderly mom is throwing in towel on cooking one this year. It is a 2 day chore to prepare and cook the dinner. This year she is going with a tenderloin, nuked potatoes and green beans..
