Oh of course you can buy the boxed stuff.

Eww.

LOL> it does make life easier. But I figure, Thanksgiving is once a year, and you are spending time with your family and loved ones and want them to enjoy themselves.

I will be making the cherry cheesecake and stuffing this year to bring. It is either going to be at my sisters or one of my brothers houses.

I used to host it every year at my parents house, but when they passed, we now each take turns with it except for one of my sisters, she spends it with her dh family.

My sister in law makes a pumpkin roll that is to die for!

Every year I am certain to make cheesecake and Sausage cornbread dressing with mushrooms and all kinds of other stuff in it.

I think last years had apples in it, too.
Honestly, I think Thanksgiving is the worst day to pick to feast. Usually I find myself eating LESS on Thanksgiving than other days. Reality is, thanksgiving food is usually bland, sometimes offensive stuff. Personally, I'd rather feast on (Asian) Indian food, Mexican food, etc. Not hard-to-even taste turkey and mashed potatoes

Thanksgiving here is never bland or tough food. I consider cooking that meal a labor of pure love to my family and guests. Sad you feel that way.

Yep, I'm thinking about it I always deep fry a turkey and I usually can't wait to do that. I stopped the other day and bought some Creole Garlic marinade. I can't wait.

We started squirriling bread away in the freezer for dressing a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Hawaii so Thanksgiving is a little different. Most everybody has a turkey, but often BBQ'ed. I make mine in the oven, but brine the turkey with shoyu and molassas & line the pan with taro, (like spinach) & banana leaves. Somebody always makes rice, along with the mashed potatoes. We have purple sweet potatoes instead of yams and always, always a platter of sliced fried spam.

8. peas
9. roasted turkey

The only reason why we have all this stuff is because we have like 15 people at hte table every year and it is by far the best meal of the year

You peeking or we are peeking on your table because that is what we have every year including company.... I make 4 Pumpkin pies and our neighbor makes 2 great apple pies.... My wife also makes stuffing with raisin bread along with baked sweet potatoes smothered in a Rasberry sauce made with Chamborg wine. YIPES....Good thing we have it at our home....

Our home is new and large so we always offer room and board for everyone just in case they eat or drink too much. We also live in SE Florida so our pool is always open too and is heated 85-88 for the kids.
