My son says he only shows up for the side dishes.
For me the turkey is only essential for making gravy...beyond that, I'm just in it for the side dishes.

Growing up, I was only in it for the white meat off the turkey.

Spending thanksgiving with selective family—we usually don’t do turkey —instead we are sort of potlucking and I am making shepherd pie. Never made it before, never even tried it before so it would be fun.

The boyfriend made a holiday meal for me to eat this morning, since I work the overnight shift, and I am enjoying it right now.
Precooked, pre-sliced turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes.
There's also other stuff that I'll probably save for later: pasta salad, pumpkin pie.
The two things I won't touch: greens and yams.

Looks scrumptious. I had to chuckle about the collection of medication bottles amidst the food.

I take 29 different meds each day. I will, some day, explode when I reach a critical mass of pharmaceuticals.
