As always I am thankful for my family.

Thankful for all of you knuckleheads, landscapers, and Blazermanics here.

A tad bit early, but I’m looking forward to having a kitchen this year and have been thinking about what will be for dinner.

Looks like I’m going to be making German food this year!

Chicken Schnitzel with a brown mushroom sauce (the kind used for Jägerschnitzel)
Spätzle (Noodles)
German Potato Salad
Cooked Red Cabbage
Apple Pie

What are your dinner plans?
Traditional American Turkey dinner?
Anyone else doing something different this year?

Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving day, however you spend it.

My not favorite cousin is having a small get together Thursday and asked me to bring something chocolate. I am making chocolate mousse cake and coffee ice cream.

My real dinner is Saturday. There will be 10 guests and me. Breakdown 4 women, 6 men, 1 nonbinary. Three Jews, four Christians, two Buddhists, one Muslim, one spiritual.

Plus Lashanna. She was born early October so last Thanksgiving she was a just weaned stray kitten, probably hungry. Doubt she got much turkey.

I am making:

Green salad with avocado and spiced pumpkin seeds.
Glazed spiced spatchcock turkey.
Dressing with apples and cranberries. Dressing is meat, egg free.
Turkey gravy and vegan gravy.
Olive oil mashed potatoes.
Mashed sweet potatoes with coconut milk.
Air fried green beans.
Beet salad.
Corn muffins.
Sourdough rolls.
Choice of butter or vegan margarine.
Cranberry sauce with grand Marnier and brandied cranberries.
Maple cheesecake
Frozen chocolate pecan pie.
Vegan apple crumble.
Vanilla ice cream or vegan coconut milk ice cream.
Wine and sparkling cider.
Tums.

Making ice cream uses loads of egg yolks so next week making angel cake to use up egg whites.
 
My wife and daughter are Ukrainian and don't seem to consider Thanksgiving to be a holiday. They are also anti-social and turned down a very kind invite last year from my employer.
I think I will ask her to get me one of those big Costco pumpkin pies today and take it out of my pay. I will celebrate with that pie. That's fucking sad, isn't it....

Sounds like a great party and an even better meal. I’m in awe of the amount of work you put into it.
 
Not a big turkey fan. Don't hate it but don't love it. Same with all the side dishes. My wife and I celebrate at a Mastro's every year. I get a steak, she gets the fresh fish and we split the lobster mashed potatoes and a wedge salad. I can't wait

We’re hosting it this year. I’m going to smoke a prime rib on the traeger. My absolute favorite piece of meat

I do that for Christmas each year. For Thanksgiving I do ham since the wife doesn't care for turkey.
 
Going to meet the future son-in-law's parents (by marriage)

They're-a-cookin.
I'm-a-drinkin

As long as I don't have to do an allottment scan of the folks present/size of tureen when spooning up my gravy, I'm good. Happiness begins and ends right there.

Oi vey, how could I forget? Also making vegan entree. A take on shepherd's pie, lentils and mushrooms topped with butternut squash and baked.
 
I love Thanksgiving. When people ask me what I want for Christmas, I tell them Thanksgiving.

We are a pretty traditional Thanksgiving household with

Turkey
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Mac & cheese
Corn
Candied yams
Green bean casserole
Rolls
Deviled eggs
Cranberry sauce
1000 pies (pumpkin, apple, pecan, etc

My wife does most of the work. I chip in when I can. In exchange for this we don’t really watch football, but have compromised on another competition.
So go Winston, the French Bulldog
 
First year without kids and grandkids around. However, we are having my wife's 100 year old mother and my brother over.
Turkey
Dressing
Yams
and who knows what else....
 
My free range organic turkey isn't close to $90. More than Costco, yes, not $90. A heritage turkey shipped cross country, probably less than 1% of turkeys purchased. You have to look hard for a $90 turkey.
A lot of turkeys on Fox.

Or you could stuff the turkey with quarters and half dollars.
