My mom does the Thanksgiving holiday, we have such a small family now we all go to mom's. She cooks and then the rest of us do the dishes for her.

For starters, rumaki, sweet and sour meatballs, potstickers then we've got, turkey, ham, sweet potatos, potatos cut up and cooking turkey juices and drippings, stuffing, cranberry sauce, broccoli, green beans, salad, macaroni pasta salad, homemade (awesome) pumpkin pie with freshly whipped cream, chocolate cake and brownies.

Wow I bet it is an amazing dinner!!

All of this talk about Thanksgiving is making me so hungry!
My boyfriend's Grandma is doing the cooking. I am so excited. She's making 6 different kinds of pies/cakes!

We'll be having leftovers for weeks.

Your rolls look good! I cooked all day today so I just have a few things to get ready and cook tomorrow. . Have a happy Thanksgiving

YorkichonBella · 11-25-2009, 09:29 PM

I've been cooking last night & all day!

Came here to escape for a while!

There have been about 4 trips to grocery stores in the past 6 days between my DH & I. Bella just doesn't understand why Mommie won't sit still!

She got tired of following me around!

I'm cooking this year but for a small crowd, just my mother, myself and Winston. I've decided to go pretty simple this year, just a nice roasted turkey & gravy, stuffing, homemade biscuits & sweet potato souffle. Winston will get a few home made pumpkin/peanut butter dog biscuits I baked the other day.

capt_noonie · 11-25-2009, 09:35 PM

Well I just found out today half my dad's side is on vacation in Australia. So no free for all at the Chinese restaurant this year! That means I will be cooking. For me and bf, that's it! Heh heh. I think he wants ribs and mashed potatoes. Good thing Chinese markets don't know what "observed holiday" means. They will be open all day tomorrow. I have gotten nothing so far!

CouversMom · 11-25-2009, 11:11 PM

I am not cooking... I do not think I could handle the stress of that!!

We are headed over to my parents house to enjoy time with the family. On the menu: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, pumpkin pie and pecan pie!

Cannot wait!!

Elaine Benise · 11-26-2009, 04:58 AM

I'm cooking too and like Patti, I'm a huge ball of nerves every year when I cook. It doesn't help that two years ago, the turkey was STILL FROZEN when it was time to eat! My husband cut into it, we realized it was still frozen, and off to the bathroom I went to cry my eyes out. We'll never forget that Thanksgiving!

Turkey is in the oven and it smells sooo good! Hope it turns out! And I hope everyone has a great day!

Gennies · 11-26-2009, 08:19 AM

Hummmm, those rolls look yummy!!!!!

I will be cooking tomorrow as DH works for the fire dept. and is there today. We'll be going there for dinner. Everyone brings in way too much, but it's fun to get together with everyone's families. We're taking turkey, gravy, stuffing, deviled eggs, veggie tray, cranberries, and chocolate bunt cake. Some of the others will bringing a ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, candied yams it goes on and on, but you all get the idea. DH isn't happy on Thanksgiving unless it's a huge feast. Overkill if you ask me, but it's he's favorite holiday so since he lets me go all out for Christmas I give in on Thanksgiving.

Anyone else? Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!

MI Yorkielover · 11-26-2009, 08:27 AM

My wonderful husband, who I am very thankful for, is cooking the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and I do the gravy. I made deviled eggs, homemade cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. My daughter-in-law is bringing green bean casserole and dinner rolls. YUM! [I]One of our sons will be here with his wife and our other son will have turkey dinner on a U.S. submarine on deployment.[/I]HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I am so happy all my cooking is done. Its now either in the oven or in the buffet warmer. I made turkey, sweet potatoe casserole, green bean casserole, spinach-artichoke casserole, mashed potatoes, a cheese ball, banana bread, a cranberry jello, chocolate fudge.
