What are you cooking/eating for Thanksgiving?

[Jenny A]

Brinned turkey. Nothing as complicated as Steel's though. Just salt lemon juice and rosemary. Bread stuffing with celery, mushrooms, onions and parsley. Gotta make the gravy from the drippings. Cranberry sauce from scratch, I put orange juice and whiskey in mine. Fruit salad with apples, carrots, raisins and nuts, nutmeg and a little Riesling. Mashed yams. Garlic mashed potatoes. Green beans with sun dried tomatoes. Crescent rolls. A variety of olives, cold vegis and cheese dip. Pumpkin pie and apple brown Betty.

The pies, brown Betty, bread for the stuffing and veges sauteed to go it, crescent roll dough in the refridge, fruit salad, and cheese dip are done. Tomorrow I get up early to do the rolls, and bake the yams while they rise. I'll cook everything else while the turkey bakes.

I realized that we could have probably saved money by going out for t-day dinner (there's only going to be 4 or 5 of us) - but there's something about a feast at home cooked from scratch, you know?

In the past, I have cremated turkeys, and I have taken turkeys out of the oven so prematurely a skilled veterinarian could still save it.
Wish me luck this year.

It's at my sister's. A friend of ours is doing the bacon-latticed turkey and gravy; my sister is doing a bunch of stuff including pumpkin bars, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole; I'm making smashed potatoes and my brussels sprouts; my friend Amber's making some yummy crockpot something-or-other... there are only six of us this year, so I think we'll have plenty of food

How do you do your brussel sprouts?  I get small ones, steam them and roll them in melted butter laced with horseradish.  I even make these for regular meals.

That sounds SO GOOD!  I adore brussel sprouts, but I have a hard time getting the rest of my family to eat them. They both like horseradish, so that sounds enticing.

Please share that recipe!

I just toss them, halved, in olive oil, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper, roast them at 400 for about 30 minutes, but in the last five or so, I throw in some crumbled bacon. They're so easy, and fantastic. I make them all the time, and they were requested for tomorrow, so they'll make an appearance. Yours sound awesome too, W'ist. I might have to try them one of these days

The only thing I will be cooking is a story line for the my novel.

That's pretty much it.  Very simple.  I just go through and recut each stem and clean up each head before steaming them, and I make a lot because everyone loves them.  I like them completely cooked but not cooked into mush.  Then drain them and put in a serving bowl.  

Then I'll put about a third a cube of butter and a heaping tablespoon of creamed horseradish in a large pyrex cup and nuke it for 30 seconds - but less if it starts to froth up.  Then stir it up and pour it over the brussel sprouts.  Stir to evenly coat them all thoroughly.

My husband does most of the cooking. We're having Turkey, various vegetables, Pumpkin Pie and Amish Bread. Amish Bread is amazing, seriously. But it's also really hard to make.
