Momo Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Does anyone have any plans yet? So far it looks like DH and I will share our tom with each other. He is my favorite person to be with anyway so I am thankful we made it through another year together. Quote Link to comment
WormGuy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Same here. Quite day, good food, good company. John Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 MIL called and said she was picking up a prepared precooked stuffed bird with fixings. All I will have to do is heat it up for dinner. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Cancelled our plans to have our annual "Thanksgiving In The Woods" ... have decided that we probably won't do them at all anymore unless we can leave for the full winter months..like, November through March :-) Now that we have Miss B we can do day trips & over-nighters if we want, so we're planning to have a quiet Thanksgiving like many of you, right here at home with Wifey (me) doing the cooking. Will enjoy it anyway, having my big oven to do everything in. We have a nice sized turkey breast which we enjoy every year regardless of where we've celebrated this holiday, and all the trimmings. Have done all our shopping so we're "wintered in" for the next couple of months or so (could go til March) , other than eggs & milk. I absolutely love Thanksgiving! It's my #1 favorite holiday!

Jeepers Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Probably just my son and me. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Probably going to make the pumpkin pies and do some sides and have Thanksgiving with my friends, M and L , down the street. They will get and cook a turkey. We both have very small kitchens so it works out to divide up the whole dinner, and less effort on either of us. It would be nice. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My folks and I are dividing the work and oven space too. I'm doing stuffing [not in bird] cuz no room in their oven. They're doing turkey, taters/gravy. Cranberry sauce, pickles, buns....they've got all that. I MIGHT try the sweet potato brownies that Euphrasyne (sp) posted recipe for. Sounds good and can be made ahead of time. But DH and I will trek over to my folks....and TV for the day. Take phone calls from kids and brother. MtRider Thankful for much this year....mostly that we're all still here to celebrate. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 it looks like friends down the street got an invite from old friends of L , who wants to go there. I know he is not long on the earth these days....... waiting for another aneurysm to take him for good, any moment so I wish them a good time. Looks like its just me and Miss Macy this time.

The WE2's Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Boy did we run on to some bargains ... and found us another "plain people" store, even though it's quite a drive. They announced via a local internet provider that they were doing a "trial run" on meats. People could order on the phone or drive there for 1st come 1st service.

dogmom4 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 We will go to MIL's. She will cook the turkey and pies and I will cook everything else. Quote Link to comment
TheCG Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 We thought about joining my parents for T-day, then hubby brought up the fact that I either cook everything or end up crying because they didn't care enough to even make sure the turkey was safe. Yeah, we'll stay home this year. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Great buys We2!!! Quote Link to comment
Momo Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Since I am on a lo carb diet and DH is diabetic I am making less food than usual. I will only make enough dressing for one large helping for him and I'll just mash about 3 potaotes and about a cup of gravy. I know if I make more we will both be tempted to eat too much. I will just have turkey to my hearts content and a nice green salad. His dessert will be some orange/cranberry sauce. I know if I bake a pie it will tempt us both! lol Here's hoping I don't fall off the wagon. Quote Link to comment
ScrubbieLady Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This is normally at our house but this year is one of the rare ones where it will only be the three of us. In years past, we have had a lot of "strays". Friends son that don't have a place to go or can't get there due to other schedule conflicts (say only having Thursday off). Quote Link to comment
TheCG Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I have the stuff to make sweet potatoes, GF stuffing, cheesy garlic biscuits, and mashed potatoes, plus a box of gravy. DMIL is considering buying a ham, which comes with a free turkey, so I'll probably end up cooking a turkey at some point. Friends have been told they're welcome to show up if they need an escape from their families. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It is time..... we get on the road today. Going to be an adventure with the ferrets and dog in the back seat together. Last time, I put the ferrets in the front seat and I sat with the dog in the back. This time, he needs to learn. Silly dog. I gave him a bath 4 days ago, to try to remove some of the layers of shedding hair. He looked so shinny. In 4 days that brat has taken several dirt baths every day! Yesterday, I brushed him for an hour trying to remove some of the dust and more of his shedding coat. Everything is packed up waiting for me to get off the computer and load up the vehicle. I am waiting for day light, then, I will get started. Quote Link to comment
out_of_the_ordinary Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) We stay home, cook a local turkey (which I'm getting even more hungry for every time I open the fridge and see!), relax and watch TV (parade, football, whatever). This year we have an extra special reason to be thankful for. She's 10 months old now and is teething again . Edited November 25, 2014 by out_of_the_ordinary Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 roast chicken (for just the two of us that is the right size) with homemade stuffing, creamed taters, broccoli, etc. My family is all over the country, and rm's are nearly all deceased, so we make our own traditions. Watching football, cheering on 'our' Packers & taking a day off from packing up and fixing up the house for sale in the spring. Not to mention, being grateful for all the blessings we have enjoyed the last year, esp my brother and all his invaluable help putting in a new furnace and weatherizing the house!

Mt_Rider Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Gotta get the big roaster to my mom, via DH when he heads for his office tomorrow. We pass it back and forth....whoever needs it. MtRider Quote Link to comment
mommato3boys Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 No turkey here. Hubby is on call so we can't travel to see the boys. So a new tradition starts - crab stuff filets, crab stuff mushrooms, shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta, garlic roasted asparagus, and cheese cake. Since it just the two of us I can splurge.

sassenach Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I expect a quarter report on the Packers game! I cannot watch tv anymore, That sounds delish, Mt Rider! I really cannot eat turkey for days on end so I didn't get one. Yet. Maybe next week after payday Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Our backup plan ...never know in the Rockies when you might be snowed-in......is always to have a Little Bird in the freezer. The Cornish game hens can be thawed out easily and something can be found to eat with it. So far we've only had to do that once. Weather is supposed to be good. MtRider Quote Link to comment
