Who's Cooking for Thanksgiving? (Take a break from politics)

Posted on 11/20/2004 6:03:08 PM PST by annyokie

What do you make, besides turkey? My Italian relatives made lasagna or ravioli.

I make a terrific cheesecake and the recipe is available for all who ask!

Certainly not a Tyson turkey.

I'm cooking a goose with oyster stuffing this year. The usual sides: Caesar salad, yams, potato casserole, ham slices, zucchini, broccoli, fresh cranberry sauce, cornbread, and apple, cherry, and chocolate pies. My aunt and uncle are bringing the green bean casserole and the wine.

I've already got the EPA disposal permit for all the grease a goose sheds when you cook it.

We will no doubt do our turkey on the barbeque again -- but the wife now has a diagnosed soy allergy, so I don't know if we will hjave our traditional tofu pumpkin pie (not as sweet as the custard pie y'all are used to, but thoroughly enjoyable!).

It is the best! I have had many, many requests for it. Let your skinny daughter eat the whole thing and make one for the rest of the crowd! Danger though, if you have it around without a crowd. See your hips widen.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Same here. I do a lot of the prep on Wednesday night which just leaves the goose and a few of the sides to prepare for Thursday.
