Happy Thanksgiving, Dotsie & all ...
I am making a traditional midwestern Thanksgiving meal tomorrow, but the new treat is our local grocery has a new cranberry sauce and it's wonderful:

cranberry, sugar, orange, apple and... chocolate!
It's tart and sweet and amazing.

Blessings to us all,

Helen Gallagher

This is our first Thanksgiving where I'm not doing anything!
We just gave a huge Tapas dinner last weekend, (a spanish dish)...and we said enough is enough.
Of course Germans don't celebrate Thanksgiving anyway, so no big deal.
But still! wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and no tummy aches.
hugs to all

Happy Thanksgiving, all.

Glad I could make you laugh Gimster. This will be my most relaxing Thanksgiving in 20 years.

I am so excited, ate plenty on Thanksgiving day and the day after, and didn't gain one ounce. WHEW!!!

I was pretty good about not over-eating this holiday.

Third day of leftovers, and counting. Finished cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. Still wayyy too much stuffing in that big casserole dish. I'm tempted to add things to pizzazz it up, but that will just mean MORE stuffing, and we'll never get rid of it.

I'm also still shuffling leftovers from a dinner group on Monday. I like leftovers -- up to a point. I like the no-new-cooking and no-more-pots part. But I really want to eat OUT tomorrow, so I don't feel obligated to recycle the same old food.

The good news is -- no turkey. The last time we had turkey (5 years ago?) we were still eating it in January. I'm surprised no one got food poisoning! So ever since then, we've had a turkey-less T-Day.

Which is probably why we have so much stuffing

I did really well, too, this year. Our oldest daughter made turkey and the fixings Thursday. I only had one small serving of each item, and no desert. Then we had the whole family together for Friday nite... Mexican dishes on that menu. Again, except for a piece of my grandson's bday cake, I ate very modestly. Then tonight we shared the evening at our younger daughter's home, enjoying stew and cornbread in front of the Kansas/Missouri game. I only had a mug full. Not one piece of pumpkin pie... not one... I'm patting myself on the back big time - for you see, I can eat a pumpkin pie with whipped cream on it all BY MYSELF.
