Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I get to eat ALL DAY!! We are deep frying 2 turkeys (11lbs each), baking a ham, and steaming up 10lbs of King Crab; I'll also make mashed potatos, homemade mac n cheese (thanks Liz!), green bean casserole, salad and some kind of dessert. My mom is in charge of the stuffing, cranberry sauce and pies! CANT WAIT!!

ps. all this food for only 6, maybe 7 or 8 (probably 6) people!

My oldest came in this afternoon from college, so I'm cooking something he will enjoy tonight. Pork loin in the DCB to make the mini sandwiches with the smokey BBQ sauce made from the rub and red skin roasted potatoes.

For tomorrow: Ham (two of the guys decided they did NOT want turkey...BOO!), mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing w/cream of chicken gravy, festive sweet potatoes, butter peas, cranberry salad, "Heavenly" eggs (DH says the devil shouldn't get credit for anything that good...LOL!), yeast rolls, pumpkin pie & pumpkin spice cake w/butterscotch caramel sauce & either sweet cinnamon or sweet caramel sprinkles.

We've deep fried the turkey for the past couple of years but they want ham this year. I tried to get them to do fried turkey tomorrow and ham for Christmas but it was a no-go.

Your menu sounds wonderful. My DH would love the King Crab!

Also, my menu is for five of us. I don't think my parents are going to be able to make it tomorrow.

I'm going to the ex's family's house or Thanksgiving. Don't ask lol.I'll be making cornbread dressing, because I said I'd bring something southern. Made the cornbread tonight, will finish it off tomorrow!

You make a statement like that...and then say don't ask? Gheesh! But I hope the day goes okay for you, Keith.

It's going to be the 3 of us, plus my In-Laws. I'm making most of it, and carrying it over to them, because my MIL had major surgery last week, and shouldn't be doing a whole lot right now.

I'm brining a Turkey
Apple/Sausage Stuffing (gluten free!)
Sweet Potato Casserole
Roasted Veggies
Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes w/ Giblet Gravy
Grape Salad
Pecan-Chocolate Chip Pie (gluten free!)
Pumpkin Flan (gluten free!)

Pie is in the oven, stuffing is ready to go in the oven in the morning, sweet potatoes are baked, and ready to be mashed for the casserole, veggies are prepped, and Flan is made.

Haha..you're right!

Well, the ex is still living here. And his mother personally invited me to Thanksgiving saying I'll always be part of the family. How could I turn that down?

Well, at least you can still get along! Seriously, I hope the day goes well! Sounds like Mom doesn't want to break up with you.

I've had ex's where I liked their family better than them.

I will be going over my aunt's house. Because we don't get leftovers there, I will be cooking a turkey and stuffing on Friday. My neighbor has no place to go on Thanksgiving so I am inviting her and her son over Friday. I am getting more than I bargained for though, as she wants the whole shebang, so now I'm making mashed potatoes, gravy, and dessert too. Part of me doesn't want to have to work so hard, but another part of me hates that anyone would be alone at Thanksgiving.
