The neighborhood potluck Thanksgiving menu for 13 (plus 5 extra for
dessert) was roughly as follows:

Tomato bisque
Turkey (a 24-lb. behemoth)
Cornbread stuffing
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Sweet potato casserole (cubed tubers, made into a crisp--no marshmallows)
Caesar salad
Cranberry-orange relish and applesauce
Homemade bread
Razzleberry, key lime, apple, pumpkin, and fudge-pecan pies
Sweet potato cake
Flan
Wine, mulled cider, coffee, tea

This was a buffet, given that one of the guests is on bedrest in month 8
of pregnancy. She was on one couch, and the rest of us sat anywhere
else we could find. A good time (and many Calories) was had by all.
