Thanksgiving at our place

Just recovering from the Thanksgiving indulgences. But hey this is a way to relive all the special food. The Thanksgiving menu at our place is set in stone....nothing can change, Anagha makes sure of that...she has her list and no items can be dropped! Multiple trips to the grocery store...and checking items off the master list...

The usual menu reads something like this

The star- the turkey
Stuffing
Mashed potatoes
Yams (aka sweet potatoes to some)
Green beans
Brussels sprouts
Corn
Gravy
Biscuits (pillsbury- I owe you this one)
Cranberry sauce (out of a can usually)
Pumpkin pie (not store bought)

Some optional menu items are ham, sauteed spinach...so on and so forth.

The liquid menu depends on the mood of the day....but it's a very important part of the meal.

Lets not forget our supporting cast of butter, butter and more butter! This is one of those times when you just have to put your diet on the back burner.

Still interested? I am going to put up the recipes for some of my dishes...mostly those than can be made anytime...not just on Thanksgiving.
