What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

[kaemicha]

As I've stated earlier, I live alone. I don't cook so the holiday's always present a problem for me. I'm thinking I'll order in some fast food chicken and call it good but it won't be. What are you all doing for Thanksgiving?

 

[Ruthanne]

I may order from the grocery store down the street or get a smaller turkey breast. I already bought some sweet potatoes and stuffing. All I need is a pie. Me and doggy will enjoy the turkey and sweet potatoes and stuffing.

We are heading to my stepdaughter’s house for Thanksgiving #1 on Thursday. Will gather with step kids and their families and kids, plus any of my kids and families who will attend. Everyone’s invited though it’s not likely all my kids will attend simply because they have other gatherings to go to with spouses’ families

Thanksgiving #2 will be on Friday or Saturday, still finalizing the day based on everyone’s schedules. Likely at our house though sometimes my daughter has it at hers. My kids and their families will attend plus some close friends.

Will be roasting an 18# turkey, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes, baby green peas, cranberry relish and deviled eggs. Pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. We love the leftovers!

 

[RadishRose]

I'll be having dinner with my son and his family at his house.

 

[Sassycakes]

Usually either I cook or my daughter cooks. We recently moved closer to where she and her family live. This year we were invited to my SIL's sister lives. Since their Dad recently passed away I said we would attend.

A church down the lane is offering free take-out turkey dinners so that's the plan. While I'm there I'll case the joint to see if it's worth attending a Sunday service. Lord knows I could use some religion.

 

[Alligatorob]

We have about a dozen family coming over. My job is the turkey, as usual. Thinking about a small regular one and a small turducken for variety.

I just found out that my niece, her husband and her mom are bringing food and table wear to my house and we'll eat here. They live about 1/2 an hour out so I'm in the middle. I'm happy. Thought I would order in but no. I get real food!

 

[katlupe]

I will make a small dinner and make enough for my son. He does not like to eat anywhere besides his apartment so he will come get it and take it home. I guess he is like me! lol

 

[jujube]

Everyone's gone for Thanksgiving, so we'll be on our own.

I'm hosting a NO MORE TURKEY! gathering at my house on Saturday. We're having ham.

 

[IKE]

I go to my son's in laws upstate. I will take AccessARide--UGH--to son and he will drive. He will drive me home later. His father-in-law's sister & husband will come, they are a lot of fun! Son's MIL great cook and with her husband always prepare a great feast! AND, another day with my grandson is always the best day!

 

[TheOtherRick]

I'm having my traditional Thanksgiving. A Hungry Man Turkey dinner, Alice's restaurant, and football no family, no fights, just peace and quiet.

 

[Remy]

Staying home with the cats. I'm not sure if I'll be cleared to work Friday.

 

[Kika]

I usually do a Friendsgiving. This year I get a reprieve. Everyone has
moved to another state (my turn is in January), so I will cook chicken, open a bottle of wine, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade on TV.
A nice quiet day.

 

[PamfromTx]

Staying home for the 3rd year... lol. Hubby went and bought all the food items we need for Thanksgiving. I need a microscope to see that tiny turkey breast he bought. He is hysterical. I always make too much stuffing/dressing and plan on making just enough for the dinner.

How do you cook it? The turkey, that is................

 

[Alligatorob]

How do you cook it? The turkey, that is................

I like to brine it overnight and then slow cook it, about 20 hours at about 200 F. The first hour is at 350 to let it brown a little, then I keep it covered to hold moisture in for the long cook. Stays pretty moist and tender that way. I stuff it with dirty rice dressing.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

My daughter works on the official Thanksgiving, so we will have our family meal (Potato Cheese soup + Apple/Blueberry cobbler so far) on Monday. Then I'll be with the grandgirls the actual day while daughter works.

 

[Wren]

I’m spending Christmas Day as usual with my beautiful daughter and her partner

Both in the vulnerable category, they have recently had covid and I was worried sick but they’re now on the mend thank God and I can’t wait to get that turkey in the oven !

 

[Gaer]

alone.


I will be giving thanks, praying for the whole world and meditating.
I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving.

 

[Manatee]

I never eat turkey, it makes me flatulent. Some scallops wrapped in bacon done in the oven seems like a good idea.

"Kids" ( 59 and 61) are in the farthest corner of the country, will see them in December.

If you have extra just bake it up in a muffin tin. Cool and put in a freezer bag. Then you can have great stuffing with future meals with none of the work!!
