I can hardly wait for Thursday.<br />Your meal sounds great.<br />And, green or not, we always go the disposible route on Thanksgiving. It's one of the very few times during the year when I fill up my trashcan.<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-58143325455226069992009-11-24T10:24:45.864-08:002009-11-24T10:24:45.864-08:00Well I had a nice long comment, but I think I lost...Well I had a nice long comment, but I think I lost it somewhere along the way. LOL So this time I will just say Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-17370027843831193992009-11-24T10:23:17.443-08:002009-11-24T10:23:17.443-08:00We pretty much stick with the standard fare. One ...We pretty much stick with the standard fare. One bite of my Mother's oyster dressing is enough for me. Now that we have two vegetarians in the family, I use butter and water to make broth, of course cooked celery and onion and a few spices, and no I do not stuff the bird, even when I used the neck meat and giblets in the dressing, stuffing the bird makes the dressing way to moist I think.<br /><br />We usually have at least one pumpkin pie, this year I bought a Marie Callendar's very berry raspberry pie to bake. Also my pumpkin is going to be different, I'm using a pumpkin pudding (instant) stir it up, then add a cup of Cool Whip and stir together and put into a baked pie shell. Never tried it before, well this is the first year we've ever seen pumpkin pudding. Of course two kinds of cranberries, green bean casserole, one daughter is bringing sweet potato (yams) casserole which takes pecans and marshmallows, and she's also bringing broccoli/cheese and rice casserole. Another is bringing her (from scratch) macroni and cheese casserole and I'm sure the one will be making her homes made dinner rolls. I'll also have the turkey, plus I bought two turkey thighs, seems more and more of us like the dark meat better. Couldn't believe it, the two turkey thighs cost almost as much as the whole turkey. The thighs were almost $4.00 each. <br /><br />Sad part is, it takes a while to prepare it and with in 30 mins, if that long, everyone is leaving the table to watch football. Personally this year, using heavy duty paper plates so we don't have so much to clean up after wards.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.com
