What time to you serve Thanksgiving dinner? I'm just wondering what other
ppl do
This year we will be going to breakfast at a friends, then to the Zoo and
then home for dinner. I think we will have dinner this year around 5 or 6.

I usually aim for 2PM, but it usually ends up between 3-4PM. It doesn't
matter much because there's just the two of us.

We are usually late lunchers. I will be making bacon and egg English muffins
for breakfast so it will be substantial enough to carry us over and then I
think Mama is planning on us eating somewhere between 2 pm and 3 pm.

When I was growing up it was always around 2PM. I'm not sure what time my
brother is planning for tomorrow; he'll call me later with the time.

I am serving at 1-2pm because my MIL and FIL like to eat early and spend the
rest
of the day doing other things.

We start appetizers at around noon, dinner around 2:30 and dessert
around 4. If anyone is still hungry after that, then it's their
problem, and I point them to the fridge. LOL.

We always aimed for about 3-4, but it will be a bit earlier this year
because my niece has to head back to NC (3 hours away) to feed her
horses. It sort of makes dinner and the day a bit of a hassle (like a
deadline??) but I'm glad her family will be here even for such a short
time frame.

3pm. It's always been that way in my family, and that way it will
stay. :-)

We're eating the big meal at 1PM -- then we'll get out the cards
and dominoes. As evening draws on, I'll put out desserts, snacks,
and leftovers for whomever is interested. This is how my family
has always done holidays; that way, the cook(s) get to relax and
have fun too...

7PM.

5:00, but it's too cold here to go to the zoo.

The St. Louis Zoo is the single best feature of my city.

Well, ordinarily we have dinner about 3:30-4, and have sandwiches later if anyone's
hungry.
This year, however, we'll be eating at about 6 or so, since my sister in law has to
work the first half of the day.

About 2-3 p.m.

Same time as always: 13:00/1:00 PM. Not that hard to be organised even
when I was cooking for 50 people.

ah, it's never too cold to go to the zoo!
I think it's going to be 35-40F tomorrow. W/ lots of rain.
We will still go.
I would love to go to the St. Louis Zoo ... I hear great things about it.

years have passed quickly.

I always serve around 6pm. My elderly aunt wants to have it at
2pm so she doesn't have to drive in the dark. Too bad. I like
to eat at 6pm or later. I also don't want to have have to get up
at 2am to start the cooking in order to get it ready by 2pm.
Sheesh!

It shouldn't take you 12 hours to prepare a good TG meal! you must be
exhausted by the time of dinner. I'm pretty efficient in the kitchen and
have it down to a nice pleasant routine.
I like to eat early for formal dinners because to me that is part of
what makes them a special day. A simple breakfast than no lunch and an
early dinner about 4.

LOLOL. So you make the old lady drive in the dark so you can be
comfortable? No wonder you eat alone in your bed. I'll bet your cats
don't even like you.

Welll....we SAID 1:30 this year, but that's about the time the guests
started arriving. (My brother runs on a clock that's about an hour to
three hours slower than everyone else's.)

When I was growing up, it was around "dinner time" i.e between six and
seven p.m.Then we experimented with having it at about 3 in the
afternoon and liked not feeling so full by the time we went to bed.
It also allowed time to go for a nice walk after dinner and before
pie, and have it still be light out.

This year, we sat down at about ten past two, which was the earliest
we've ever managed.

I aimed for 1:00pm and we sat down at 1:30 pm, not too far off target.

Na,,, we went out of town and got a late start. I did the bird in a
large gas grill. Takes the same time as an oven. I don't like turkey
but I actually had some.

There's another poster here who uses this as a self-help group and
gets mad when people say anything. Her usual line is "you don't know
anything about me." Well of course anyone with even half a memory
knows all too much.

This year I nailed it perfectly. Told everyone to be here for dinner at
4PM and sure enough, turkey was done by 3:30PM as was everything else.
Re-heated the butternut squash and broccoli casserole while I was
carving up the bird.

As I've posted before, this had to be one of the best Thanksgiving
gatherings we've ever had.

I found out what happened to my friend from Atlanta. She tried renting a
car with a debit card and it kept declining. Turns out new consumer
protection rules shorten the hold period on debit cards to 5 days while
credit cards are 30 days.

They should have made it 10 days like it used to be.
