Curious what, traditionally, you folks have on the menu?? Is it always the same...tradition??

We have the following:

23 pound bird stuffed

Red Bliss mashed potatoes (Usually use Yukon Gold but change this year) They is good like this.....add cream cheese, sour cream, butter and milk......artery cloggin' good!:drool:

Peas, carrots, pearl onions, stuffing, cranberry sauce.

Last but not least....my Dad's famous gravy....if I can pull it off!:drool:

Always Turkey, Sausage Stuffing, Mashed Taters, Peas, Cranberry Sauce, Rolls. After that anything else anybody else wants to bring. I'm making some home made biscuits this year.

Always Pies and Ice cream for Breakfast.....the Kids love it because its the only day of the year they can have Ice cream for Breakfast.

I'll make an Apple Pie and a Blueberry Pie, My daughter will make a Chocolate Decadence pie and my son is making a pumpkin Cheesecake pie this year.

then....I go into a coma in front of the TV for football

Let's see...turkey, stuffing, taters (sweet & mashed), corn, spinach, squash, cranberry sauce, rolls, gravy, apple pie, cheesecake, brownies, apple cider (not that clear crap, but the cloudy good stuff).
All the family that can make it, and hopefully something good and wholesome on the tube, otherwise we break out some classic dvd's.

Of course there are the perennial turkey-day football favorites - Dallas and Detroit (yaawn).

Our Thanksgiving Party lasts well into the weekend.

I got a cup of tea brewing right now, need to find something to deflate the belly....What gluttons we can be.

It was a peaceful day spent with lots of family, reminiscing about old times. We have A LOT to be thankful for. I hope we all took a moment of silence to ourselves to thank our Creator for all we have.

Thanksgiving at your house next year bloo!
