30-lb turkey, two types of stuffing,cranberry catsup,mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, green bean casserole, sweet potato streusel, creamed onions, fruit salad, pumpkin pie and cream cheese pie.
Most of the food is set to go. Turkey goes into the oven in 2 hours for a 6 pm dinner.

Mom made the majority of goodies (turkey, etc…). I made some yoki, ‘churrascaria’-style (Brazilian) cheese rolls (little poufs of dough and a cheese influence…so yummy!). And, I made my first (evah!) pie. It was the “Apple Galette” recipe from Gourmet mag, so more of a ‘freeform’ than actual pie. But I loved it! I can’t wait to make another.
I ate just enough.
Blessings and Peace to all! Thanks to the First Draft Krewe for being here!!!

Green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, pecan pie, deviled eggs, dressing and I roasted a duck and a chicken. The chicken was a last minute addition because no one, including me, had confidence in my ability to prepare a duck. Both turned out great, so we have even more to be thankful for.
Stuffed now — may never eat again.

Went low key this year. I had my folks over for a pot-pie from the local turkey farm, sweet potatoes (no marshmallow! (why would you do that!?!?)), corn, squash, and pecan pie.
And though the menu was stripped down, it was also not even a little stressful, and as such, was the best turkey day in years.

what is this green bean casserole of which you speak?

Ah, green bean casserole.
The boys cooked this year, so we had turkey steaks, mashed potatoes, black-eyed peas, corn, and pie.
Green bean casserole:
Thinly slice a big sweet onion (not rings). Reserve 1/3 or so of this. Fry remainder in tablespoon of butter to caramelize.
Beat 1 egg with 1/3 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp each garlic powder & cayenne.
Dip fried onions in this, spread on baking sheet and crisp in 400 degree F oven for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile:
Make 1 cup white sauce (melt 1/2 stick butter, stir in 1/2 cup flour, season with salt and white pepper, add 1 1/4 cups milk, simmer until thickened).
Thinly slice 1 cup button mushrooms and 1/2 seeded red bell pepper. Stir into sauce with previously-reserved onions.
Clean and drain 2 cups green beans (1 15.5 oz can is ok). Stir into sauce. Spread in casserole dish, along with 1/2 the toasted onions.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Top with remaining toasted onions and heat through under broiler.
Makes 4 regular or 2 generous servings.

Green bean casserole, mooncat style
In ovenproof dish, mix:
2 cans Bush’s Shellies and Snappies beans, one drained
1 can condensed cream of potato soup
About half a can of French fried onion rings
Bake at 350 F for about 30 min.
Sprinkle the rest of the onions on top and cook another 10 minutes or so.
This is way better than the one with cream of mushroom soup, IMHO.
