I called my mom last night to see what is for thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. Going to drive an hour to my parents house.

Well......My wife and I are going to bring an apple pie, my mom is making chicken, green beans, rolls, mashed taters. (should be real good) My dad does not like turkey, hmmmmm....he ate it for years.
 
This handsome fella will do just fine. He's resting patiently in the fridge now, gets a salt water bath tonight.

Turkey and venison ham (home cured and smoked)are the headliners. The ham has been soaking in a maple syrup/brown sugar/pinaaplle glaze for the last three days. Mashed taters and gravy, cranberry sauce, green bean cassarole, squash, rolls, brussels sprouts smothered in velveeta, and blackberry pie. All this will be washed down with a tall glass of cold milk, cran-raspberry juice or soda. Crackers, cheese, fresh carrots, and venison summer sausage for the appitizers.
 
Too much of everything.

Traditional turkey and dressing, 4 different kinds of cranberry salads. Pecan,Mince,and Pumpkin pies. Sweet & mashed potato's. Green been casserole. That's just what I know about. The Girls in the family started cooking this am.
 
Doing it all. Turkey breast and a big ham. Dressing, turkey gravy and ham gravy, mashed taters, sweet taters, corn, cranberries, several pies, and dinner rolls.
Ham is from a range hog and not a confinement. Going to be real tasty.
 
In other news, the uber-lib Mayor of Seattle pardoned a tofu turkey yesterday. Kind of a useless effort- it wasn't in any danger, its not like someone was actually going to eat it.
 
Having roasted chicken here too. It'll just be us and our teen daughter.

We got together with the rest of the crew this past Saturday... and had meatloaf for Thanksgiving. :)
 
(quoted from post at 08:44:31 11/26/14) you didnt pardon him like the president does? lol

Our governor up here pardon's two of them every year, funny thing is some people thought that after they were pardoned they went to a petting zoo or some farm where they will live out their days........Well this year the truth came out, the farmer that raises them and hauls them in to be pardoned loads them up and hauls them back to the farm and into the same pen they came out of :lol:
 
Baked possum with fresh ground cornbread dressing and turtle giblet gravy, big mess-o-greens, candied sweet taters, scratch rise twice rolls, Rhubarb pie and chase it all down with a good swaller or two of shine. What'd I leave out, grin.

Seriously, usual things most folks have for the occasion.

Turkey I guess. The wife just made an apple cake,so I already know I'm at least getting that much.
 
Our dinners at the farm are small, so I buy Cornish hens. The hens are basted with a honey-orange sauce and baked.

Along with that, I will be making cornbread dressing, baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon and marshmallows, green bean casserole, homemade egg noodles (like a flat dumpling only better), giblet gravy and crescent rolls. For dessert I bought a caramel turtle cheese cake.
 
Youngest daughter has taken on Thanksgiving as her annual project- so all three of our kids and their families will be at her house- 14 in all.

Traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Special part of ours is pies- about 3 really good pie-bakers in the family, and each will bring a couple. Mrs. (WA) makes lemon merengue pie from scratch, with juice from fresh lemons- it is absolutely to die for. Daughter makes a mean pecan, and so on. Most everybody wants "a sliver of each". We do pies several hours after dinner, after the traditional "walk" (kids on their bikes).
 
Fresh turkey killed yesterday,sweet potatoes,green beans,squash all raised this year in the garden.Also a deer roast for those that like it better than turkey or want some of each.Plus the normal stuff like cranberries,
dressing etc.
 
Turkey is submerged in brine right now, tomorrow morning he goes on the Weber for three or four hours. Also having cranberries, dressing, broccolini & carrots, candied yams, scalloped potatoes, pumpkin pie.
 
oysters, octopus, fresh salmon, baked turkey, home made wine, home brewed beer........courtesy Gig Harbor tribe ......Dell (WA)
 
I like the Cornish also. Here Thanksgiving is the thing and Christmas is a moot point as family's are all grown and they have their "thing".

So for the two of us it's the big bird for TX and the small one for CH. I think ours come from Pepperridge Faaaaaaaaaaarms.
