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!
Gonna try popcorn stuffing this year.
:-)
Whats everyone's "okay the bloat is gone and I need something to eat" favorite left over? Mine is a fist full of cold stuffing eaten like an apple.
Goose is great! My aunt used to cook it for Christmas. I always got the piece with the birdshot in it.
I'm a great cook but last year my oven exploded so this year instead of buying a new oven, I'm buying the whole dinner from the local Whole Foods grocery store.
I've never eaten goose...sounds like I'm really missing out.
I cook the turkey " breast side down " for the first half, and the meat is much more moist...and you *should* add a little white wine to the basting juices....
Planned a turkey breast, couple of veggies, bought punkin pie--for just me, hubby, my mother and a 80 something friend who is alone.
Daughter called to say she, her hubby,four kids still at home and married son, his wife and daughter would be over for dinner. Fine!
Now having butterball turkey, cornbread dressing, giblet gravy, whole cranberry sauce, candied yams, ham, rolls, fresh apple cake, caramel cake, pecan pie, pumpkin pie. Daughter bringing green bean casserole and pies.
Since we are having a crowd, invited my cousin and her mother. They are bringing fruit salad.
Pretty typical southern Thanksgiving dinner.
Hope all of you are planning a great day. Eating out, eating sandwiches, or a feast, the greatness is in the thanksgiving and enjoyment of family and good friends.
God bless all of you, our President, his family and staff and this great nation, which I love--got that MM et al?--God bless you, too.
You would like His Blessings.

I like turkey sandwiches with stuffing and cranberry sauce and lots of mayo.
Cold stuffing is good when you wake up at 3 am and think you need to eat.
Your presence certainly needed here! And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Not really. It is kind of greasy dark turkey meat.
I'll be doing the turkey and stuffing this year, as it's just the four of us. I also do sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, corn pudding, and of course real gravy! The MIL is bringing the green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and the wine. We eat the same traditional things every year, although the corn pudding has replaced plain old corn and cornbread we used to have a few years ago! I discovered the recipe on the internet and there was no turning back!
You know those little pieces of turkey/goose/duck left on the bottom of the roaster after you finish picking the carcass? They've been sitting in the juices all day, soaking up flavor. My Thanksgiving evening snack is that meat scrambled with eggs, with a side of cold dressing.
Sounds like you're going to have a blast! The more the merrier. We have our son and his family here for a visit and plan on having a good time.
LOL!!!
i promised hubby I would go buy a turnkey tomorrow.........I would much prefer to make ravioli. My cookbook collection finally made it's way INTO the house and now I've got my best pasta recipe back.
I can't wait to pull out the pasta machine!!!
and I want the cheesecake recipe also!!!
I am cooking this year. I am going to make the usual Turkey of course, and for the first time, I am going to take over making my Mom's cornbread dressing. Cross your fingers for me! Pecan and pumpkin pie, chocolate cake and homemade bread are also on my agenda. I am tired thinking about it! :-)
GOOD GRIEF WOMA!!!!!!
just reading that added inches to my hips (j/k)
Those little pieces always belong to the cook!! Yum
You and your pasta, skinny! Scroll up the thread; I posted the recipe. I wish I had all your cookbooks, but I am glad you have them in the house!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
