Lets Plan Thanksgiving

[abrown83]

We will be hosting Thanksgiving for the fourth year in a row.

Each year it grows (we take in people that have no where else to go and they keep coming back).

This year we are looking at 16 people.

I need some new ideas for the menu.

Will Haves:

Deep Fried Cajun Turkey
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Turkey Gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Sweet Potato Casserole
Homemade Wheat and White Rolls
Lots of white wine.
Lots of micro-brew fall beers.
Apple Pie

In the Conversation:
Always do a second turkey, thinking about a roasted turducken?
Second Pie

What else you got?

[garrett]

More veggies, cauliflower, broccoli, green bean w toasted almonds?

Sounds good though

[GambleBotsChafedPenis]

creamed spinach

and a man cave for yourself with some sort of lock/password/etc so you can watch some football in peace...

This was my favorite part of Thanksgiving growing up, my dad's family calls them 'mud daubers', not sure why.

There's lot of recipes for pecan tarts online and they're a good, smaller dessert to have on hand and can feed lots. I found myriad recipes online last year and successfully made them.

Stuffing is the most common item left off the list and is a must have as a lot of people like it.

Bacon Wrapped Mushrooms like these here are good but I'd use cheddar instead of mozzarella:

Mostaccioli and Macaroni & Cheese are a few other options.

Also, ice cream to go with your apple pie. Or to eat separately.

Every year I tell my family that I'm sick of cooking a full on Turkey dinner and I'm ordering pizza this year. Every year they laugh and say not a chance.

I'm thinking about buying up a bunch of dough and doing home made pizzas this year.

A nice boneless honey-glazed ham slow cooked in the crock pot is always popular in my house. My wife has a recipe that include cloves & it is always awesome.

 

BTW, Thanksgiving is over. It was on Oct. 14th.

 

This is a joke Rollo.

 

Seriously Rollo, I'm just kidding.

The problem with stuffing is there is no room for it in a turducken.

So then you have to make Dressing, which is Stuffing's poor bastard cousin.

Baked Macaroni & Cheese could be a possibility, I have never done that for Thanksgiving before.

American Thanksgiving is great. Head out for lunch, have a few beers and never go back to work because football is on.

You don't have to put it in there.

The only folks that work on Thanksgiving are those who unfortunately toil in retail. Everyone else goes to grandma's. The streets all over the US are like a zombie ghost town by 2pm.

matter of fact, you shouldn't put it in there anyway, because its easier to cook the bird (or birds) evenly without it, and it tastes just as good (if not better) prepared on its own.
