I know that different parts of the country make certain dishes that other parts may not eat on Thanksgiving.

We make sauerkraut in Baltimore and I know it freaks some people out.

I begin simmering it early morning, add water, wine, apples, carraway seeds, sweet and low, and pork. By the time dinner rolls around, it's just right. All the pork is nice and stringy and it takes just right.

How about inyour neck of the woods? Do you make anything out of the ordinary?

This is the first year we will all be meeting at the Boulder Stations scrumptous buffet for dinner. There will be 10 of us altogether. My treat!!! I and my son still bought turkeys and I will be making my giblet dressing and taking them a pan full for their leftovers the next day. I will also have turkey, taters, sweet and mashed, gravy, dressing, assorted veges and a peach cobbler, all the day after Thanksgiving, There just is something about leftovers so to speak...silly but true!

We still haven't decided, although there's enough food in the freezer/fridge to feed a small army. Just the two of us -- I'm not inclined to do the hostess thang. On Thursday morning it will be, "And what do you want to make today??" At least we'll probably have the ingredients, if it's anything available in Greater North America.

In-between cooking ventures, Whatzzizname will turn into a TV zombie for hours on end watching men run after balls in what he emphatically defines as "a really important game." That's when I retreat to the bead room. Can't even go online because my computer and the TV are in the living room together, and the game volume is always loud.

Meredith, I gave "another husband" one of those headphone sets. He could blast his head off without killing the rest of us! I'll be going to my only bro's house. There will be dad and his lady friend (they're sooo cute!), bro and sil, nephew #2 and his wife and one black lab....no kids on this day but we make up for it on Christmas! My brother owns that house that my dad built in 1951. It's my childhood home and I love it. It's only about a 20 minute drive for us. I WILL be roasting a stuffed turkey sometime this weekend and have the fixins' with it because we, too, MUST have leftovers!!
