What is your Thanksgiving Menu?

We do a traditional dinner. Turkey, filling, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, greenbean casserole, cranberry sauce, rolls and pumpkin pie. It’s just me and my wife so it won’t be formal. We’ll probably still be in our jammies and eat in front of the TV. There’s probably a Twilight Zone Marathon on or something.

I am doing Thanksgiving on Friday. I do Christmas traditionally, but Thanksgiving is open, the day and the menu.

It;s just us 2 this time and she works that day, so we’re doing it on Friday. Like you Christmas is the traditional turkey feast. For this holiday we’re minimizing work and maximizing pleasure–I am going to a very good deli or 2 I know and getting fresh bread, cheeses, fancy cold meats, pate, veggies, and the such. Kind of a made-up and imaginative anti-pasta platter.

The pic is from off the net, it just gives an idea.

Turkey, cornbread and black olives stuffing, cut corn, mashed potatoes and gravy, candied sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie.

One of my idiot brothers, my parents, and my family rented a house right outside the gate to Yosemite where we are together with assorted kids. We’re having dinner in the park. Menu below.

That seems like it would be very cool.

My wife worked today so we went out to breakfast with our daughter and her boyfriend and I had Belgian waffles. For lunch we picked up Wawa Turkey Bowls. They kind of just mix a traditional dinner into a bowl and serve it. Mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, turkey and filling. No yams though. They should add yams.

And we have pie–lots of pie.

Happy Turkey days guys hopr ya’ll had a great time. Sorry I’m late to this party but Thanksgiving is big at my house…It’s the wife’s day to shine around my family.

Mashed Potatoes and giblet gravy

That is Big Time Thanksgiving. That is all the stuff I think about when I think Thanksgiving. You did not mention stuffing, but I assume it was there.

How could I forget stuffing? Yep we had stuffing as well…thanks Ag.

Mom and Dad used to host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners every year, but now they are up there, and to take some of the pressure off, my sister takes Christmas and we take Thanksgiving…and my wife takes this very seriously. I think she has already started planning next years events.

We had a great time and I just found out my wife and brother are going to the Virgin Islands together…how did that happen? Maybe next year I’ll eat more pie and drink less of my favored Jim Beam.
