Now that Halloween is past, it's turkey time soon!
I know we're going to do turkey, dressing, gravy and like 3 kinds of potatoes. Trying to think of some other side dishes, thought maybe there might be some suggestions?

Fresh, on the cob corn?
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

Kinda too formal for corn on the cob. Thinking more asparagus or Brussels sprouts. Likely to have corn casserole too! Homemade cranberry sauce.Originally Posted by Elessar

I've never heard of that pizza joint in Chicago, but it looks super authentic. That's for a Saturday night though, not Thanksgiving. LOL!Probably a Famulari's Chicago Stuffed pizza...

It's not in Chicago, it's right here in South Carolina... and it is very authentic, and very good.
As for it being for Saturday night... I'll be alone with three dogs on Thanksgiving... pizza is perfect for Thursday...

If I was closer, you would be invited. LOL! I'll be closer to your wife distance-wise.

au contrare, madame ... I looked up hummus when you were yummy-ing it up about it. Got my peas wrong though. It's smashed chick peas, not the green ones. I'm not eating anything Gerber sells regardless the re-packagingNever smash the peas, except for soup.
My thoughts on formal are this: Why? The quickest way to ruin a meal, IMO. I'm sure the Marine Corps invented it. They sure do love it. And you're always still hungry when it's over. Last one I went to the first thing I did was unhook that damned blue collar and then I hit the drive thru at Jack in the Crack to get some real food I could partially identify
To each his own though. I'm just having fun/teasing. Thought you weren't nostalgic though. That certainly sounds like a holdover from yesteryear.

Never said I wasn't nostalgic. LOL! Besides I like to cook and have friends over. Family would be good, but alas. Hummus is very, very good.au contrare, madame ...

You responded with exactly that awhile back. Must have not been your topicNever said I wasn't nostalgic. LOL! Besides I like to cook and have friends over. Family would be good, but alas. Hummus is very, very good.. I'd rather eat the first version of MRE's than smashed up peas. I'd have to be starving.
I have plenty of extended family hereabouts. They always have some kind of a shindig going on but even the Holier-than-thou, prim and proper, upscale cousins don't do formal. More like a directed potluck and all the Cowboys fans (meaning the men) pile around the tube and piss and moan while the Cowboys snatch defeat from the jaws of victory yet one more Thanksgiving.
I ran out of "friends" when I stopped drinking. They'll have a drink-fest disguised as a meal. The aforementioned Cowboys game applies. An odd thing I noticed about drinking "friends" especially as a group -- it's a control thing in a way. If you aren't getting jacked up and acting like a fool along with the rest of them, you're no fun. I've seen exactly one of that bunch since getting out of the hospital. They aren't much into you and your post-hospital condition reminding them of their mortality either. And we hung out every weekend for a good years.
I'll do the usual load up about half the plate with white meat and some vegetables I can identify and that will do it. No one has to fight me for leftovers, that's for sure
Another "oddity". My daughter LOVES Thanksgiving. I never knew it when she was growing up. It's her favorite holiday. I was always too busy trying to make sure she got as good a Christmas as I could manage. Thanksgiving was a speed bump in the way of THAT. But she never said anything growing up. Conversely, she thinks Christmas is a pain in the butt

Thanksgiving is always traditional at our house. Roast turkey with all the fixings.
Christmas is when we mix it up some. Usually opting for prime rib or something of that nature.
