[QUOTE="WheatenLover, post: 1926127, member: 3515"] You are making me jealous, living in GA as you do. I want to move back there. I like the weather and the people. I like the idea of traditional holiday breakfast, but doing that is the tipping point for me. Tips right over into get your own breakfast mode. At Christmas, I serve store-bought stollen, and if anyone wants more, they can fix it themselves. My daughter is peeling potatoes and making the mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. She made two pies yesterday. She's never done it before, so I think I'd better remind her we need leftovers. But not of the gb casserole - I think those leftovers taste awful. The casserole itself barely passes muster. My daughter loves it, though. My husband is coming for Thanksgiving dinner. He called to find out what time to be here, and I told him any time. He is a member of the family, after all. So, our dinner is abbreviated, but all his favorites will be part of it. And he'll be glad I don't serve the usual steamed broccoli and culiflower - I use plain steamed veg at holiday meals to make them healthier. I have to cook the turkey because my daughter doesn't like handling it. She must have inherited the not handling raw meat gene from my mother. I am making the stuffing so I'm sure it's done right. We were going to add Italian sausage to some of it (which is good, IMO), but she forgot to buy it. No great loss. I may add apples to some of it this year. I have to make the stuffing with onions (for me, the only one who thinks it's the best part of dinner), and without onions for my husband. I am also making green beans with cranberries and almonds for my husband. He doesn't like the casserole due to the onions in it. I am going to show my daughter how to make gravy. My secret ingredient is to make it the usual way with roux, drippings, and bone broth, and add a couple packets of Knorr gravy mix to it. That Knorr mix is great; everyone loves my gravy so much that they invite themselves to dinners. Little do they know where that great taste comes from! It's funny how good gravy brings people together. I also have to find a place for all the stuff on the counters, courtesy of my daughter who buys things she doesn't use, but that we desperately need. Good thing she hopes to marry a house husband who cooks and cleans, takes care of the yard, and does laundry (and changes diapers, etc). :) Good luck with that! Maybe she'll find a spare for me. /joking [/QUOTE]
