Mr. T is substituting Splenda for any recipe that includes sugar. That's why he bought plain 100% pumpkin instead of "pumpkin pie filling". He may go out early tomorrow and try to get some heavy cream, to which he will also add Splenda. I love Thanksgiving.

We're also having oven roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, turnip, homemade cranberry sauce, boiled onions and stuffing with raisins, celery and walnuts. Mr. T always puts as much of the stuffing into the bird as he can fit. It doesn't have the same taste otherwise. He does wait until the very last minute to add the stuffing, though.

Mmmm... That all sounds wonderful.

Ours is a little simpler, especially since it’s just the two of us. Turkey, stuffing (I have always made a meat stuffing as my mother used to) with giblets, hamburger, sausage, low-carb bread (instead of saltine crackers), onions, and spices, peas and pearl onions, yams (not candied, no marshmallows), cranberry sauce with sucralose, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake.

We always have heavy cream in the house, LOL! Always!

He’s going very fancy! I always stuffed that bird full too, but right from the start.
