Speaking of Thanksgiving...
Posted: 10-25-07 20:00pm

What else besides turkey does everyone make?

We usually do..

turkey
stuffing (home made not that nasty out of the box crap)
candied yams
cranberries
green bean casserole
corn
rolls

we have trays of appetizers to get our family thru the day til dinner.. usually little smoked sausages, trays with carrots, celery, tomatoes, cheese, broccoli, and asparagus with a dip, and the typical chips/dip. Oh and a crackers with smoked sausage(the ones that comes in the big roll u cut up)/pepperoni/cheese.

dessert we always have pumpkin pie, cherry pie, and peach cobbler.

we go to my parents for thanksgiving.

we'll have turkey, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, stuffing (i usually have stove top because my dad puts gross things like raisins and cranberries in his), cranberry sauce (blech), green bean casserole (my mom just started making this when nick came into the picture), some sort of vegetable, rolls.

dessert is usually apple pie and pumpkin pie. this year i've requested apple crisp.

We go to Shane's grandma's for all our holiday dinners. We have everything that you guys listed & his one aunt every year makes this strawberry stuff. It's like pieces of strawberries in strawberry cool whip, it's SO good!

We don't do baked turkey. Aaron's dad fries them instead! Very
Happy We have mashed potatoes, lots and lots of gravy, rolls, these weird green bean wrapped in bacon thingies (no idea what they're called), corn, cranberry sauce, stuffing...

And Aaron's dad usually makes a super dessert. Last year he made this dessert that was to die for! He made a batch of brownies, cut them up into bite-sized chunks, then tossed them into some chocolate pudding along with marischino cherries and topped the whole thing off with cool whip. He also makes homemade banana pudding, "cake pudding", pies... Very
Happy Very

Damn it, now I'm hungry.
