 Posted: 11/19/04 - 20:15 Post subject: What is on your Thanksgiving menu?
I know it's not here yet, but I will do the shopping tomorrow.
We are having:
Mushrooms stuffed with escargot, tomatoes, parmesan, parsley, and chives
Brandied Sweet potatoes
Creamed Potatoes with peas and pearl onions
Turkey roasted/glazed with peaches/peach brandy
Dressing with cranberries and pecans
"Traditional" dressing with sage, celery, and thyme
Fresh watercress, arugula, and radicchio salad with endive, gorgonzola, and pecans
Bread pudding with raisins, chocolate, and rum.
Fresh wheat rolls.
A bunch of champagne!
(Can you tell no one here is on a low-carb diet?)
We are having our Thanksgiving on Wednesday, because Larry works the rest of the weekend.
So, what's on your menu this year? When do you have Thanksgiving? Early afternoon, or dinner hour?
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Since there are only 4 of us and 2 of us are smallish, we're going easy on the food. Turkey breast, mashed potatoes, green beans, peas, macncheese, and a pie of some sort. We'll make our own whipped cream for the pie too.

We are having a mass meeting in NJ
To the best of my knowledge we will be having
turkey and ham
cole slaw, mashed taters, sweet taters and yams with some sort of sweet stuff on it (I do not eat them). Assorted veggies and salads to include the infamous baked string beans casserole with onion rings.
Desserts will run the gamut from pumpkin pies to cakes to cheesecake.
Then we pass out due to carbo and fat overload...

Turkey is over-rated.
