Our house is always a traditional meal,, Turkey and all the fixing,,

We start with my in-laws mushroom soup. It's nothing fancy,, put the shruns in a blender with some water,, cook on low(no boiling),, 30 minutes,, add evaporated milk, a little salt & pepper, & a stick of butter.

Actual my wife is very rigid about Thanksgiving,,

IT WILL HAVE:

- Roast Turkey
- Stuffing, both in the turkey and extra
- White Mashed Tatars
- Baked Candied Sweet-Tatars
- Green-bean Casserole
- Cranberry Jelly & Sauce
- Rolls
- Creamed Onions
- Parsnips/Rutabaga
- Gravy,, NO NEVER gizzard or liver or hart

Then Pies,, Apple, Pumpkin, Pecan with whipped-cream

and she insists she does it all,,

I be very very lucky fellow...

Our big thing is the crowd,, We have had up to 36 to a sit down meal with four(4) turkeys.. This year it is going to be a small crowd, only four extra, total 7.

Our oldest is staying put in DC with the new G-daughter and friends,,
and our youngest is staying in London with her fiancé & friends,,
and our neighbors are all out of town..

Don't feel bad,,
All is not lost,,
I think I get left-overs this year...
