    My family makes wine Jello for holidays. Pretty good

    I'm heading over to my brother's for the big meal. It's leg of lamb for us-- his partner got food poisoning from an undercooked turkey once, and so we don't go there. There will be mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce from a can, and something green.

    My contributions: dessert! Crustless pumpkin pie (brother's partner has celiac), and an apple/cranberry something (maybe pie, maybe gluten-free cobbler). And if I get energetic, I'll bake cornbread, maybe even make stuffing.

    The pumpkin's roasting in the oven right now! yum!

    MoB, that cranberry relish sounds wonderful! I'm so inundated with great-sounding cranberry recipes this year (also thought I might use some of the blueberries I have in the freezer) - might have to make them two ways.

    I like the sounds of that cranberry relish too!

    We're at the in-laws for Thanksgiving this year, as we continue the eternal rotation back and forth between families.... DH's family are very much classical Thanksgiving people, and don't believe in lightened-up anything. It all must be drowned in butter and heavy cream. So I don't bring anything, but I do help with the cooking and cleaning.

    (Sorry for the rant....can you tell that I'm not in the Thanksgiving spirit this year? :/)

    Just DH and me for T-day.

    Trader Joe's made our Thanksgiving dinner:
    1/2 roasted turkey (pre-cooked....it's an experiment...we'll see how it goes!)
    Scalloped potatoes (again, a TJ's pre-cooked experiment)
    pearl onions (I'll need to fix those...DH loves 'em. I can take 'em or leave 'em)
    Some sort of vege yet to be decided...green beans, mixed veges, who knows?
    And a pumpkin pie if we can fit it.

    Perhaps a bottle of Pinot.

    After DH goes for his bike ride, and I do my training run (assuming this cold that I feel is coming on doesn't develop into anything), we hope to go check out the new Harry Potter flick (hopefully, they'll be showing matinees!). Then dinner in the evening.
