I made the calls. My parents and brother will join us. My parents will bring a buttered green bean and carrot dish. My brother will pick up a dessert. We'll serve turkey, cranberry, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and creamed spinach.
That sounds lovely - we're not big turkey eaters either so I always buy a turkey roast (not that processed, packed in a loaf tin roast, this is a real breast of turkey) and it cooks beautifully in the CrockPot. Slices really well and there's plenty for turkey sandwiches for a couple of days. It will just be Sophia and me and like you, a fire and movies.Will be just the 2 of us at home this year for dinner. Husband asked if I would mind fixing a small dinner instead of going out. I’ll just get a turkey breast since neither one of us is madly in love with turkey. I have my pie crusts made already for the pumpkin pie. A nice bottle of wine, a fire and our traditional thanksgiving night movies (miracle on 34th street and home alone) suits me just fine.
I’ve already checked out the kohl’s ad lol!
Be still my heart.I "was" going to make a Butterscotch Cheesecake but got a last minute request for my White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake instead.
what a wonderful idea. I might just think about this one.You can still have Thanksgiving. It can be a time to celebrate family and friends. Barbecue turkey or chicken legs for a party.
We always used to have Thanksgiving when we lived in England. Mum would invite a couple of the neighbors to join us and explained the significance. My sister and I loved that we were excused from school on that day!Be still my heart.
We do not celebrate Thanksgiving here but I do enjoy reading about your menus and preparations. I do believe I would love Thanksgiving if I was in the U.S or Canada.
Your feast sounds delicious- enjoy your day!It will just be us, although I invited our friends i'm pretty sure they aren't coming. We will have chicken (either baked or grilled), homemade noodles, green beans, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, homemade rolls, and chocolate pie, butterscotch pie, and pumpkin pie.
This year we were throwing it back to our 1960s Thanksgiving traditions.
