mmmmm...beer 781 Posted November 23, 2017 So... Stuffing is in the oven Bier... Cranberries next.. trying to figure out how to time all this stuff with one oven is a pain in the ass.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,601 Posted November 23, 2017 I use simmer time or roasting time to prep... Ie: get either soup or cranberries going, then start my stuffing while it is slowly simmering on the stove top Or get the stuffing going, then prep out the soup etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,945 Posted November 23, 2017 Kept it simple. Roasted turkey (brined) Classic sage stuffing Whipped potatoes Corn Yeast rolls Pasta salad with salami, parm cheese, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, olives and lemon vinegarette. Spring Mix salad with bacon, croutons, tomatoes, cucumbers and champagne shallot vinegarette. My wife made: Pumpkin pie Chocolate cake with chocoloate cream cheese frosting. Rice crispy turkey legs. My kids ate the turkey, salad, corn and the desserts. I told them Id give them $20 each if they would eat 1 spoonful of whipped potatoes. Neither one of them got halfway through it. I cant understand how they got to be such picky eaters. For now, Im blaming it on my MIL since she was with them a lot when they were younger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,760 Posted November 24, 2017 Cuz put pomegranate seeds in salad. Worthless. Fine,but worthless. Never had them. Would've gone with dried cranberries or craisins, but whatever. Nice gathering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and my wife, my parents, sister and BIL and their two kids, sister and BIL and their 3 kids, brother and SIL and their 2 kids, BILs sister her husband and their 2 kids. So 21 people. We usually have a ton of food every thanksgiving and Christmas. Especially if my aunts, uncles, and their families come over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 4,028 Posted November 24, 2017 What are with you weirdos who eat at noon? You are eating dinner correct? Then you graze the rest of the afternoon. We eat at more like 3 but I dont think theres any wrong way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
listen2me 23 1,757 Posted November 24, 2017 Then you graze the rest of the afternoon. We eat at more like 3 but I dont think theres any wrong way We eat at 5. I graze beforehand....you know appetizers or horderves like normal people? 3 isn't too bad. But the freaks that eat at noon or 1? What the hell are you doing?

listen2me 23 1,757 Posted November 24, 2017 I dunno, I wish we ate a little earlier. Get in a nap after all that tryptophan A nap? JFC. This place has officially become a senior citizen forarm. I'd rather eat later since I will have a light breakfast mid morning like normal. Plus why get all full and tired at 1 and carry that around all day and pass out? You eat at 5, have desert, sit around for a bit and pass out during this crappy late game. Much better use of the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So theres travel involved and my sisters wanted to do shopping later on. Plus we have all day to spend with each other watching tv, drinking, telling stories, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,171 Posted November 21, 2022 Youngest daughter has to work until 5 so we aren't eating until 6:30. Later than I'd like but, I like my kids so that is more important. Our remodel is almost done, at least for the kitchen to be functional. Wife, son, and I installed the wall oven over the weekend. Knock on wood, our kitchen island granite will be installed tomorrow, so we will be able to install the cooktop. Then it will be a go for us to host Thanksgiving here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
