TG is at my sister's and the menu has not varied one iota in 20 years, or more. PRobably 12 people and a couple of dogs will feast on

hors d'oeurves & crudites
Roast turkey, stuffing, gravy
Mashed potatoes, a very sweet sweet potato casserole
Brocolli casserole (I love it but am sooooo tired of it)
Green salad with grapefruit, avocado slices, and cream cheese balls w/ chives
2 kinds of cranberries
Spiced peaches (I make these, home canned)
Home made rolls (I bring these as well)
Apple, pumpkin, and probably another pie
Sour cream cookies
Spiced sugared pecans
various wines and champagne

It's getting to be so much food that I am almost sickened by it all. But everyone wants to bring something and when you have 12 people - well you end up with a ton of food. It will all be home made, some home-grown, and all delicious, (well if you like sweet potato/marshmellow/syrupy casseroles that is - LOL) but I sure would like to lighten up the menu.

What I would like to see earn a place on the menu is roasted sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. So much so that Tues and Wed my dinner will be just that.

But it will be fun to see everyone and visit over the weekend. I'm bringing my bike though and hoping the weather holds out so I can go for a ride on Fri or Sat, or I may stop in St. Michael's for a ride on my way home.

Happy Thanksgiving!
