Hey yall. I am cooking. Fixing potato salad, mixing up my dressing, and fixing to bake pumpkin pies for tomorrow. Was just wondering if anybody else was already cooking. I have to sit down and rest my knee after each little task, but it gives me a good 'scuse to get on DS and check on things. We had an extra turkey so I threw it in the oven last night and am now fixing to make turkey salad out of the leftovers. Dad is cooking our turkey for tomorrow in his rotisserie thing. Hope yall are having a good evening. I am off to peel eggs and chop onions. Wish me luck!! ;)

Hugs & Love,
Chelle / Zany

This year we are going with best friend to a gourmet buffet at a local resort. Family and friends are all out of town. But it will still be fun! Hugs to all for a great day!

I am hosting...beginning to freak out a bit. Although my boyfriend will keep me in check by helping.

We are barbecuing the turkey, serving cranberries, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cornbread, biscuits, Ham ( mom bringing it.) pies..( sons and bf sister is bringing.) egg nog, sparkling grape juice....a bean casserole, and brussel sprouts.....I know I am missing something else!

My son and I will be going to a casino buffet tomorrow. In most things I practice economy of effort. Other people might call it lazy. I say whatever works!

ZanyBeeper 11/25/2009

That's what I say too, Tommy. The buffet sounds wonderful and clean up is a breeeeeeze!!! Have a great day!!

I'm visiting with my inlaws so I'm not in charge this year and it feels good!! Have a great dinner tomorrow xoxoxo

I'm having about 35 people coming and have most everything done just ready to pop in the oven. I'm making the turkey with sausage mushroom herb dressing and 3 dishes, my favorite being the sweet potato souffle. Not to mention all the other assigned dishes, desserts, and beverages everyone is bringing! Too long to list. I made all the hordourve's three different kinds and I think my favorite is baked brie served with french bread. Yum. It's crazy here during thanksgiving!! Beer, wine, ping pong and cards don't forget to pass the chex mix!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I'm not making a hell of alot of this stuff. Just enough to go around for us. Oh yeah, and cant forget about the cranberry sauce and sweet tea :)

TwoSidesOfMe, you have the right idea. We tried that one year just to have Thanksgiving with hubby and kids but according to the rest of his family they made it sound like we killed the Pope or something LOL. Your dinner sounds pretty good to me!

deleted_user 11/26/2009

Well my family is acting like we killed the pope but I dont really give a care. Dont want to deal with all the ya know. A peaceful thanksgiving for me thats for sure! Hope yours is great also

I'm not cooking this year. We are gloing to Cracker Barrel. I'll probably cook on Christmas though. Hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.

ok what are candied yams and collard greens....?

ZanyBeeper 11/26/2009

Candied yams are like sweet sweet potatoes usually with a buttery glaze on them. Collar greens are kin to turnip greens-just a big leafy green veggie that you cook up with some fatback or bacon or whatever you wanna season it with. You need some Southern cuisine Vicky.

I am just baking bread to bring to a friend's house. Ever since I moved across the country, holidays have never been the same without family and meaningful/long term friendships.

Awwww Harriet. You can come to my house. *diverts magic carpet to pick Harriet up* Gotta make a lot of stops this year.
