Are you being the Host or going somewhere else to eat?
Will your whole family be there or will it be just you?
My Mom is planing a Thanksgiving Dinner for My side of the family. We aren't going.
My Sister in law is planing a Dinner for Buddys side of the family We aren't going.
We are going to leave here early Thanksgiving Morning and meeting my daughter Heather and her new boyfriend on the Ga Fl line. Then we are all going out to eat, dutch treat. I love it, no clean up just sit enjoy the meal and each other. Then we head home back home by 1 and relax the rest of the day. 
So whats everyone else doing?

E-
We'll be here at home, smelling the turkey.err.."turking'....we will be picking up Mom from the transitional care, center and my grandmother from her nursing home. We have friends without family, so they will join us. Dinner will be around 2pm, so we can get the ladies back and tucked in before dark.and after the dishes are done, we'll let the boyz watch football(like we'd have a choice), and my friend and I will begin to drag out the Christmas decorations, all but the tree....eventually, we'll end up at the dining room table, grazing on leftovers and drinking Frangelico....how do I know this??
It's tradition!'

I use to host Thanksgiving Dinners for who ever would come on both sides of the family. After Buddys Mom died, his sister started hosting it. I kept hosting for my side of the family. Last year after Dad died, things changed again. Now Mom wants to host and thats great with me. Then you have the hurt feelings if we go to my sister in laws Moms upset, and if we go to Moms my sister in laws upset.
This year I just told them we are planing to go our own way.
I am kind of excited about something different.
Cathy that sounds like fun! Notice I said we were leaving early, thats because Buddy wants to be home in time to enjoy his sports LOL.
Rich just bring your fish and come join us.

I'll be playing host this year, cooking my first bird and calling the Turkey Hot-Line (Linda's) probably like 10 times. Trying my hand at making woobie's fried corn, Cathie's sweet potato casserole and Thomas's Green Bean dish.

It may just be the youngest son and his girl.
The oldest son, wife and grandsons are going to her side of the family. Sue's granny is like 95 or so. I think it's important that they spend this Thanksgiving with her...who knows what next year could bring.
I doubt I'll do the formal sit down with just the four of us. But.......it'll be back on next year....my daughter in law ask that I always do that so my grandsons will know it as tradition at Grammy Jacks house....linens, china, silver, crystal... 
Jonny...I'm gonna need some silver polish again next year....
Wishing you all a happy day...however you choose to spend it...

I think this yr since it is mine and Kenn`s 1st yr together and it`s just he and I were going to go out to eat and possible a movie after..Neither of us will be able to have the kids here for this day so didn`t want to sit and make it depressing and make a huge family dinner....Besides..He has to work that night...
Hopefully next yr I can cook and to all the trimmings for at least Half of the 6 kids between us..

Similar to a sweet potato.
Boil until a fork can be inserted easily
Refrigerate over night
Remove peel
Slice in 1 1/2 to 2" round chunks
Place in a casserole dish
Cover with about an 1/8" of butter
Cover with about a 1/4" of brown sugar
Put in oven at about 250 until the yams, or sweet potatos are hot. Cover with a layer of marshmellows and return to the oven to let them melt.
During Thanksgiving meals I figure on a large potato for three people. There is so much other stuff to eat.

It will be at my house. The kids will be with me, the in-laws are coming and some friends. It should be interesting; Cheese and crackers to start with, Turkey breast, Stuffing, Candied Yams, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Green Beans, Cranberry Sauce and homemade Apple Pie and Egg Nog Pastry Puffs. We all usually watch a movie after while we digest. Already went shopping this morning and bought everything I'll need.

My wife wants to stay home and have just the four of us for dinner, so I will be cooking the meal. My problem is my wife does not like the house "smelling like food". I'm thinking bar-b-qued turkey. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Good to know that I'm not the only one to eat candied yams. I made it for my mother and sister in law the first thanksgiving that I was with Shaun and they had never had them before, they LOVED them.
I cant do Cranberry Sauce. Especially the jellied kind, just freaks me out. So I make Cranberry Orange Relish
One bag frozen cranberries
3 small cans of Mandarin oranges
1/2 to 1 cup Sugar
Pour cranberries, oranges from 2 cans and juice from one can in a food processor. Chop until it is the consistency of sweet pickle relish. Pour in sugar, process again. If you want it thinner, our in some of the juice from the 2nd can of Mandarin oranges. Add oranges and extra sugar to taste. Some cranberries can be more sour then others.
It is like a sweet and sour sauce that goes SOOO awesome with ham or turkey.
