OK, what are we going to have for Thanksgiving dinner?

My holiday dinner is usually the same from year to year. I usually try to make a favorite side for each person. . This year we will be having just my cousin and his wife who can make the trip to our home without stopping and never venture out of their own home except to get food.
I'm having Turkey, stuffing ,homemade cranberry sauce. Creamed onions for my hubby, green beans and corn in a butter sauce, mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy. I might add red cabbage.
I've made homemade dinner rolls and the cranberry sauce is already in the freezer.
For dessert it will be pumpkin pie, a half cherry and blackberry pie. I put a piece of foil down the middle of the pie and pour the filling in each half. I bake it with no crust on top. When done I pull out the foil separating the two fillings. I have a cookie cutter shaped like a turkey so I roll out some pie crust and cut out the turkeys and bake. Just before serving I put the pie crust turkeys on top. Everyone thinks its so clever but little do they know I have never mastered the art of a lattice top.

So far, Becky1951 is the only true American. She's munching on good, old US of A, turkey. Ham, roast beef-? next thing you'll be eating lasagna. Did those people suffer at Valley Forge, so you could eat sushi on Thanksgiving? Geesh! Some people!:)
 

Turkey breast, gravy, cornbread and regular stuffing, creamed potatoes, turnip greens, cherry strudel, garlic rolls and whatever my son brings {which can be exotic, now that he's an amateur chef}.

This is the first Thanksgiving that I won't be doing any of the cooking in 45 years. The men can handle it this year! Any suggestions on what to do with all that extra time? I don't like football.

For the first time, it will only be me and my husband. I already bought a small turkey, the stuffing and sweet potatoes. Hubby will decide what kind of pie he wants. We usually have the wedding soup and lasagna but we won't have them this year. My son and daughter and their kids will all be on zoom with us, so at least I will get to see their faces and they promised they will send me kisses on zoom.
