Ok guys posting this early because I have a lot of preparing to do on Wednesday. I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and feel free to share all of your Recipes and Dinner Menu's here. Here is the Schedule: Vikings vs. Lions 12:30 pm Redskins vs. Cowboys 4:30 pm Steelers vs, Colts 8:30 pm I'm probably going to go back and forth with the games and The Christmas Story Marathon.... Love that Movie.
Thanks Lil' and same to you. We too saw The Christmas Story the first year it came out, and every year when the Boys were young. I still enjoy it, especially well, it all.....now the boys won't even come into the room if that movies on, their loss, farrarar-ra-ra-rar-rar.... I don't usually write most recipes down, keep 'em in my head, and always have, tho' Kim has a good Sweet Potato pie casserole recipe. She made 2 Turkey Pans full of it, and I took it to work. Of several sweet potato dishes, those 2 pans were emptied in no time. The Locals, folks in Perry, Ga, loved and couldn't believe a middle aged white man and wife, could outdo the other sweet potato casseroles brought into a Thanksgiving/Xmas Pot Luck that was 70% black..... I do have a wild sweet potato pecan recipe tho' for a Pie....Chantilly Lace on top.....cya'll manana, perhaps...! Best of Thanks to all on this Board, its been a great 3 Seasons down, looking forward to many more.....
I must be Brain Dead, A Christmas Story isn't on until 12/24, I don't know what made me think it was on around Thanksgiving. Anyway I am preparing my Sausage Stuffing..... be back a little later.
brain dead, you, no way girl, you just had wishful thinking, and so do I. I'm going to make some good old fudge tonight, homeade cinamon rolls in the morn....
Roasted turkey 19.5 lbs. Sausage corn bread stuffing with dried cranberries, apples & pears. Baked yams with chopped walnut marshmallow topping, roasted asparagus, Brussels sprouts with bacon, cranberry-grapes sauce, candied carrots, with home made herb rolls. Dessert: home made pumpkin pie, chocolate cream pie, apple berry pie, ice cream for us kids. From my family to all you and your loved ones.......wishing all a happy, grateful Thanksgiving. We personally are vowing not to get caught up in the commercial craziness that makes us forget it is a time to reflect and be there for each other.

^^^^ sweet...!!! ^^^ great menu 59. Thanksgiving in Middle Georgia was one of the most festive of feast's both at work, and at home, at friend's, fellow work peer's, townsfolk, et al. Sweet Potato Pecan Pie,.... I miss the Pecan tree's... Your neck of this nation, (middle Georgia, for those not familiar), eloquently represents the abundance of all that is good within America's bountiful harvests. one of the most profound memories of Thanksgiving was: in Perry-dise watching my friend walk across the Kroger's parking lot, with 4 huge bags of greens sticking out of brown bags way above his head; while, singing Sinatra out loud, with his native thick NYC accent. "What not like that"...
... Annie just told me that the actual head count is 47 people ... she has a very large and extended family...(Brother's Sisters, kids, grandkids)...it's the ONLY time of the year that ALL of us are together at the same time. ...there's NOTHING more important than family.
You are having 40 people over???.........Damn it's just me my Fiancee his best friend and his wife. If you do remember last year I was in Florida and didn't have Turkey. My Menu is simple: Roasted Turkey, Gravy, Sausage Stuffing, Corn and Potatoes Au Gratin, for Desert: Cannoli's. We are not big fans of Vegetables.
22lb Turkey Stuffing Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Candied Sweet Potatospot Mushrooms Green Bean Casserole Brussel Sprouts with Bacon Jalapeño Popper Dip Pumpkin Pie Blueberry Crumb Pie w/ Vanilla Ice Cream Rainbow Cookies
You can come to my house, I sit on the roof with a clothes line hanger for an antennae, and get HBO and 2 local channels, but the TV has to stay on the roof too, to watch it....
