Well, we didn't get our promised dinner from the neighbor (she obviously forgot) but I had the chicken, so threw it in the oven, made up a packet of stuffing given to us by a visitor about 5 years ago, served fresh cranberry sauce I'd made up which had been sitting in a closed container in the fridge for about 6 months (!!) and we had a nice Thanksgiving dinner. No dessert so we ate yoghurt. Hubby put on a CD of the Chieftans and that was that.

While the thought was nice, it's worse to offer and then not deliver, than to not offer at all.
But you are handling it graciously.
I brought over a plate to my neighbors (I thought the husband was home alone, but there was enough for 2), and I owe the thought to you.

We had a get-together at my sister's house and had roast turkey, stuffing, cream-style corn, sweet potatoes, sauteed green beans and mashed potatoes. For dessert, we had cream cheese rolls from a local Cuban bakery.

I love the Cheiftans. Sorry about your neighbor. Sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving without her.

We had a nice dinner.
My son made roasted root vegetables - beets, carrots, red onions, turnips with a garlic balsamic glaze. I made mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with pecan marshmallow topping, wild rice pilaf with cranberries, green bean casserole with wild mushrooms topped with home fried onions, Waldorf salad, homemade stuffing with pecans and sausage crumbles, Field Roast and mushroom sherry sauce. Cranberry sauce - a 100 year old recipe made with orange zest.
Ocean Spray canned jellied for DH
Malbac wine or Chardonnay.
For desert, carrot cake, Dutch apple pie, pumpkin pie. vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce.
I was hoping for a rerun of thanksgiving, since it’s all the goodness, without the fuss, but we aren’t left with many leftovers. I’m pretty sure there is enough turkey, stuffing, gravy and squash for two people. Hope so.
Gathered up with friends at a restaurant yesterday and since I've had turkey all last week, for my meal yesterday I had a frisee, roasted delicata squash & roquefort salad, roasted venison loin with a wine reduction sauce, swiss chard, pureed parsnips and balsamic cippolini onions, with chocolate hazelnut gelato and a house-made cruller split & filled with espresso mousse for dessert. Thankful that the portions were reasonably sized so it didn't take a handtruck to get me back to my vehicle afterwards
While most of you are enjoying left overs, we are having some of the family over to watch football. I am doing snacks, and fixing a couple of frozen pizzas. Of course I will doctor them a little, but not much. Most of us are still full from yesterday.
