Happy Thanksgiving fellow American boardies!
I thought since we are all so food obsessed it'd be fun to see various menus. Ours is pretty traditional and simple since we're having a quiet celebration this year:
Turkey
Gravy
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry mandarin orange relish
Cranberry sauce (yes they are different)
green beans
brussel sprouts
cornbread
homemade pumpkin pie with homemade maple whipped cream
You know, I just realized I forgot about stuffing. This happens when you are lazy and are buying your turkey from Whole Foods. I'm going to pick up the turkey this morning and I bet I can buy some.
Also my day may be taking a sad turn as my son lost his cookies this morning. So we might be having a stomach virus Thanksgiving!! |

We did talk about doing a different meat dish but decided to go traditional this year.
I made lamb one year. My boss makes chile rellenos (with a pork filling) and walnut sauce. That sounds good too. |

Dunno, we're going to someone's house. But I just put my cake in the oven. Hope it turns out okay. I got up at 7 to make it!

Remember my Thanksgiving last year? I read this thread over again and got quite a chuckle.
