Since you asked. We are not having Thanksgiving dinner at our house because it is a mess with the basement finishing going on (Everything that was in the basement is now upstairs with us. We are going over to friends.

They are originally from Hong Kong and have never had an American Thanksgiving Dinner cooked in their house. They weren't even in their house last Thanksgiving due to water damage and repairs. I am going over about 9am and Kriss and I are going to cook the dinner. He likes to cook and wants me to teach him how to cook better.

We are having:
Various appetizers (I'm not doing this part.)
Brined Roast Turkey (see Good Eats @ FoodTV.com) and Country Ham.
Southern Cornbread, Oyster, and traditional Sage & Apple Dressings(that's three kinds)
Mashed potatos, and candied yams
Green Bean Cassarole
Shoepeg corn soufflé
Baby Carrots with an orange-ginger glaze
Cranberry Orange Relish (This is so easy to make but you have to do it the day before.)
Apple, blueberry, and Chocolate pecan pies with fresh whipped cream for dessert.
Wine, ale, and french presse coffee

I think that's everything. (Serves 20 but we will only have 6 adults and 5 kids.)
