This month: Thanksgiving! Are you doing anything different this year?

Fish or a wild hog; deer if God wills..
The corn muffin sausage stuffing recipe sounds intriguing, but I often try a small batch of a recipe before using it for an event with guests. I’ve had enough accidents (sometimes happy, but often not) to have learned my lesson.
This year we will be guests at our son’s home, but I feel confident that I’ll be in the kitchen a lot. My son is great with his grilling skills, but in the regular kitchen they don’t feel the need to go to much food prep. Of course, I can’t do that every meal either, but I guess I have a few more years under my belt and don’t have to look up every recipe any more.
We will probably stick to many of the same comfort foods. I make killer mashed potatoes and apple pie so those will probably be my finest contributions to the feast.
I’ll be making fried chicken with all the fixings, same as the last three years. I just like chicken breasts cut thin, breaded and Italian seasoned with homemade breadcrumbs. The way I make them is crispier than panko.
Definitely different!
We’ll both be volunteering to help cook, serve, and clean up at our American Legion post. We’ll receive dinner there; plus we’ll get a share of the leftovers to bring home.
Same for Veteran’s Day.
Aldi has Butterball Turkeys for $.87/lb. Can’t beat that.
