for me, dh, and MIL. I am happy that it's small, b/c though I am fairly confident in my kitchen skills, I've never done the whole Thanksgiving dinner before.
so, I decided to do it 'my' way.
menu, so far dinner: stuffed roasted turkey breast mushroom risotto creamed cauliflower sweet potato casserole corn something green cranberry sauce (thank you Janie! it'sMY fav)
dessert: apple raisin torta pumpkin pots de creme
I had to bring it down to my level...didn't feel like 'trussing' a 10 pund turkey.

Re: So, I am actually 'hosting' Thanksgiving
fun! looks like a great menu.
we are hosting too.
But my mom (she lives upstairs, we have a mother-daughter home) is making the turkey and most of the other stuff. I am making vegetable cornucopias, veggie gravy and tofurkey. And for desert - vegan chocolate dream pie.
I bought a festive table cloth (I am pretty excited over the dumb tablecloth) and I am going to use my fancy china. Plus my new furniture comes tomorrow morning. I feel like a grown up.

by all means..
just keep in mind, I cannot digest broccoli and I hate lima beans and brussel sprouts.
anything else is cool with me!

Jessiquita...I would love nothing more than to be there...chowing down ALL the SPC! I'm a sweet potato whore!!
But Ant's fam arrived last night. So it will be a Happy Thanksgiving down here after all.
ETA: I vote for green bean casserole. With almonds and buttah.

For the green thing, my vote is for creamed spinach since that was what I went with on yesterday's 'fave veggie' thread.
