Every year I post the menu for out Casa de Crazy Thanksgiving extravaganza and every year I wonder why I don't just cut and paste from last year because it very rarely changes.
Oh, the people change, and the weather, but what goes down in the kitchen and gets laid upon the table are as reliable as...well...something very reliable.
SI also wonder if anyone cares, but I kind of get a kick out of seeing what y'all are doing and I like to share, so without further ado, here's the eats for Thrursday's T-Day dinner:
Turkey, a 13 pounder this year because we have a couple of extra guests.
Dressing. Not stuffing. I like the stuff the gobbler with herbs and use the pan drippings for the gravy, so it's dressing. No one has complained, yet.
Mashed potatoes (Mum always helps with these and I let her because she is Mum and you don't tell Mum "no" when she wants to help with the taters).
Gravy, of the home made variety.
Green Beans. Just plain old steamed green beans.
Mashed Turnips and carrots, because Mum and I adore them and they're pretty in the fancy, cut glass bowl.
Can-o-Cranberry, because cranberry that isn't can shaped ain't right.
Sweet Potato Casserole (because Martha 'n'Milo insist on bringing something and that's what they'd like to bring)
Desserts include Chocolate Silk Pie and Dutch Apple Crumb Pie made just for us by Marie Callender (her pie crusts are way better than mine and I'm fine with letter her do all the work) and a Key Lime Pie with a shortbread crust (crust store bought, pie made here).
Whew, I am full already. How 'bout you - what's traditional at your Thanksgiving dinner? What's your favorite savory? Favorite sweet?

We have decided to be extremely lazy this year. My boyfriend is Australian and couldn't care less, and I don't like stressing myself out for days to prepare the meal. We're having spaghetti with meat sauce, Italian sausage (store bought sauce), and I *might* make homemade garlic rolls. New traditions! :D
