What will be on your plate at tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner?

[Alison Joy]

Thanksgiving started early for me and I just finished a wonderful dinner with my roommate and a couple of our most dear friends. And, now that I'm so full that I'm lucky to be sitting in an upright position, I'm thinking about what all you other TCS members (in the USA) are planning to have on your plate at tomorrow's dinner.

While this was only just part one for me (I have dinner with the fam tomorrow), my plate was filled to the brim with delicious food for which I am incredibly grateful. This evening, we had turkey (which was to die for ), a non-traditional rice-based stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry-apple-orange salad, and, of course, apple and pumpkin pie for desert. And, if you can imagine, tonight's dinner was the smaller of the two!

Tomorrow, at my mother's house, we'll be having a ton of food. I know she'll have about a zillion appetizers and snacks for before the "main event" and I know the amount of food she'll have on the table for dinner will be awe-inspiring. Our traditional Thanksgiving dinner consists of turkey, ham, green bean casserole, mashed turnips, broccoli and cheese casserole, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes (yummy !), two types of stuffing, two types of cranberry sauce, parsnips (fried - not my fave), both candied and plain carrots, gravy, and dinner rolls. And, let's not forget dessert! There will be apple, pumpkin, and mixed berry pie, a chocolate layer cake, an assortment of fresh fruit, cookies galore, ice cream, and lots of tea and coffee. It's enough to feed an army, but, bless her heart, my mom loves cooking for Thanksgiving! And, it doesn't hurt that her cooking is ahh-mazing .

So, that all being said, what are you planning to have on your plate tomorrow? What is your family's tradition, if any? And, most of all:

HAPPYTHANKSGIVING!

Hmm turkey, made with a bulgarian twist- the stuffing made of rice, chopped chicken livers, and chives and the whole turkey baked with saurkraut all around (or potato slices, I'm not sure)..
Tiramisu for dessert...I am not sure what else because my mom is making it all, but I just know about the turkey since we have that every year.

Turkey with sauerkraut sounds interesting. I know it tastes great with pork loin or roast.


Probably all the standards. I've made mashed potatoes, stuffing, and spaghetti squash so far. MIL made brisket, turkey, green bean casserole, and sweet potato pie. DH's grandma is making chicken and noodles, and the rolls - not sure what else or what desserts and being made.

DD's boyfriend wants to fry a turkey, so he bought a 20 lb. one then found out it was too big for the fryer. I bought a 12 lb that I was bringing over to bake before I heard about the other turkey, so now we are baking the 20 pounder and frying the smaller one!

I'm also providing sage stuffing (in a casserole)
Green bean casserole
Others are fixing:
Mashed potatoes
Corn souffle

Salads, and I don't know what else!!

Leftovers? Oh yeah.

I really don't know as we are going to dinner at a friend's from church house. I do know there will be fresh rolls, turkey, dressing and ham. I am not sure what else except for deviled eggs. I know about the eggs since I just made them. That was a chore!!! I boiled 18 eggs, cooled, peeled (sorta, some didn't peel to good) and mixed up the mixture. They are in the fridge. It was sooo tempting to eat one!
