This year I'll be at my Mom's she always makes her turkey with butter and garlic rubbed on the outside and then injects white wine under the skin. We'll have stuffing and a fruit salad. Yum! Now I'm hungry!

I look forward to the pumpking or cherry pie with homemade whipped cream.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I'm the designated Thanksgiving dinner provider. Everything bought except some of the last minute fresh veggies

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner. The menu:
Turkey (duh)
Stuffing (bread crumbs, broth, celery, onion, seasoning)
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Yams baked with butter and brown sugar (not too sweet)
Cranberry sauce
Fresh vegetables (we'll see what looks best on Wednesday)
crudité
Champagne
Beaujolais Nouveau
Pumpkin Pie (I make the best!)
Heavy whipping cream (hey, it's Thanksgiving. Don't judge)
Coffee, Tea
Comfy couches and chairs for football and passing out

There are 364 other days for tacos. But I am looking forward to Christmas tamales

Of course. I only get dolphin-free, cruelty-free cranberries

@KSM  We usually do the whole Beaujolais Nouveau Day but didn't this year. What's the report?

It's horrendous, @anniem  ! They like to gather up a finful of the little ruby tykes. Then flip them up in the air - how do you think Flipper got his name? - and keep them aloft by juggling them in the air with their blowholes. It is said the screams and squeaks of the poor cranberries can be heard echoing through the bog. Of course, the dolphins claim they are only being playful 😿

Where's SciFi Author?  I'm sure he could tell us some horror stories 🙀

OH and I trusted Flipper. They never showed us why he had that name.

Something has to be done about it. What can we do?

@KSM I don't care for ham so much, it really seems like turkey is needed. We have my father's stuffing recipe which is nearly the same as my mother-in-law's so we will have that. It just reminds me oh growing up. I do like these holidays.
About how many people end up at your place?
@anniem  Does your Dad know that his recipe is (nearly) the same? Is he upset about it?

If he knows, it is in his heavenly home where such things don't matter. He was gone before I met my dear husband.
If he were here, he would be let her know she got it almost right and that she did well.   ;) ;) ;)
