What's for (Thanksgiving) Dinner?

I'm cooking this year...but only for 11. Definitely manageable!

Crab dip
Pepper and onion relish (ready)
(both w/ assorted crackers)
fresh veggie tray (veges cut, dip ready)

Turkey and dressing (dressing made)
ham (small)

stuffed potatoes (potatoes baked)
sweet potatoes (my mom)
green bean casserole (my friend)
ginger glazed carrots
green salad with winter fruit and lemon-poppyseed dressing (dressing made!)
rolls (will rise in 'frige overnight!)(rising)
cranberry sauce (already done and cooling!)
relish tray
spiced peaches (next!) (done)

Apple pie (baking)
Other desserts (friend)

Iced tea (brewing)
coffee
sodas (chilling)

it's only Wednesday... I can't think all the way ahead to tomorrow's dinner!! I'm thinking something with rice. And it definitely won't be turkey or troublesome.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you... enjoy your dinners, whatever's on offer, and I look forward to reading menus and stealing ideas for veg.

We'll also be having dinner for 11.

(I had to copy Lenora)
Here's what I'm supplying:
Triple Berry Cranberry Sauce (made 2 days early)
Turkey (brining as we speak)
Gravy
Garlic Mash Pots
Sweet Potato with Pecan/Br. Sugar topping (in oven)
Peas and Lima Beans w/ Rosemary
Scalloped Greens (Collard and Turnip) (in oven)
Dressing
Pumpkin Pies (baked and in fridge)

My friend is bringing wine and another dessert, and her MIL is bringing 2 appetizers. (Though I picked up some cheese and nuts just in case.) Yes, I want everything the way I want it, so I am cooking it all!

I'm hoping to prep the Sweet Pots., the greens, and the pies today, and possibly chop the veg. for the dressing too.

DD7 has written a play for the kids to perform -- it involves a turkey who fights back and demands a temple with a golden statue. Which prompts my daughter to deliver the line, "We should indeed worship the turkey, and the Lord."

Have a good Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.

I plan to make a pumpkin pie in sympathy!

...including the after dinner nap!

the turkey carcass is boiled (with some veges) and already in the frige and DDDDDDH has handled most of the dishes!

We had a lovely meal (1:30 pm) and a nice afternoon.
I'm missing my MIL, but am greatly aware and truly thankful for the blessings of family, friends (including YOU), good health, and home.

It's been a good day.
Love to all,
Lenora

Sounds nice Lenora!

Our was nice too, the food was yummmy and I didn't over do it too much! We were lucky to be with DILs for almost a week. Counting our blessings...
