Sounds great, but one bottle of Shiraz for you plus seven guests?

I'm sure you realize that without turkey it's only a pseudo
Thanksgiving....

Count me in. With Wayne and Katra, you now have 10 guests. Shall I bring
an extra bottle of wine?

That's not true... turkey was not a very significant part of the first
Thansgiving.

A guy could get lynched for not having turkey on Thanksgiving Day. They
don't call it Turkey Day for nuthin', y'know.

I must be a rebel. SUCH a rebel. :-)

I wanted to make a standing rib roast for SOME holiday, and I plan to make a
ham on Christmas, so Thanksgiving seemed like a good opportunity. My guests
SEEM enthusiastic about the menu, but maybe it's just the free food they're
enthusiastic about.

I'll probably tinker with the recipe: Have you tried adding mushrooms and/or
cheese to it? (My local Costco has been carrying the most BEAUTIFUL
mushrooms, which I plan to use in my stuffed mushrooms, but since it's
Costco, the baskets contain MUCH more than I need for that, so I need to
find ways to use the excess. And since I'm NOT making a turkey, I won't be
able to throw them into the day-after tetrazzini -- although I am looking
forward to some day-after roast-beef hash.)

No. Try them; I'll bet they'd be good. At Christmas, I make a sour
mushrooom sauce/gravy thang with wild mushrooms and kraut juice.
Cheese? Bleah! Don't put cheese in it.

Codswallop, I say! Also Balderdash! :-)

This year we will have braised lamb shanks with lots of garlic. The
lamb will come from Naushon Island, just west of Woods Hole, where we
will do the dinner.

The cheese plate will feature sheep, cow, and goat cheeses all
farmhouse cheeses from New England, NY, and NJ.

For olive oil we must go to California, but everything else from the
northeast. Veggies and fruit from the Greenmarket.

You make rib roast for Christmas and Ham for New Year's. Turkey is
for Thanksgiving. For crying out loud, aren't you American?

SURE I'm American. Just not big on tradition.

Thing is, neither my friends nor I have a big meal on New Year's Day.
Speaking of New Year's Day, none of my friends have heard of the black-eyed
pea superstition (not that they'd eat Hoppin' John anyway; they tend to look
down their noses at all legumes except for edamame).

The only big meals I cook during the year a

Easter -- I cook lamb most years
Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day -- I barbecue
Christmas Eve -- I cook seafood

Thanksgiving and Christmas, I cook whatever I *feel* like cooking. Last
year, I cooked a capon for Thanksgiving and a ham for Christmas. I'll
probably make ham for Christmas again this year due to the appreciative
response I got from my girlfriend last year. So if I decide to make ham for
Christmas and I want to cook a standing rib roast, Thanksgiving is the only
holiday left.

I *do* cook turkey at other times of the year, though. I expect to smoke a
turkey sometime in the next few months, but not for any special occasion.

I get to spend the day eating turkey with my family! First stop,
mom's, for the traditional fare. Turkey, chestnut stuffing, orange
cranberry sauce, rolls, and pumpkin pie. Then a few hours later,
dad's, more turkey and what ever nouveau recipe he is trying out this
year!!

Lots of driving and eating... I was going to complain about the
stress of going between homes (divorced parents, each wanting to have
their children the most). But I will count my blessings for having
them both healthy.

Being such a pessimist, sometimes the silver lining is easy for me to
overlook.

Thank you Michael for the post. Enjoy your T-day with your loved
ones, wherever you end up.

As I posted before, I'm crockpot-ing a frozen pork butt roast for a noon meal.
Potatoes in the pot about 9:00 a.m., vegies on the stovetop. Brother brings a
drink, Mother brings pumpkin pie, other's Mother brings some sweeties. Simple,
cheap, good.

Going to my brothers house for Thanksgiving, that will be a real blessing to me
as I will either be moving or about to move and don't need the extra hassle.
Hope to have some kind of Christmas in the new house, lots of turkys running
around there, some were on the front porch the other day... hmmmm maybe they
will come for dinner... JUDT KIDDING, all the animals where I am moving are
protected, and that is one reason I am building there.

I think YOU should go home to Mommy, young man! Let her baby her baby for
awhile.

As for us, we are going to Athens (Georgia) with my daughter, her SO and my
grandbaby (separate cars) to spend the holiday with my best friend (of almost
thirty years) and her family. We are planning to move to South Carolina early
next year, so we will most likely take a day trip to our new home to be and
take a looksee around.

Foodwise...the menu hasn't be set yet.

Just the two of us this year, but I'll still make a little of everything.
We'll have citrus-brined turkey breast rotisseried on the grill, cornbread
dressing, mashed potatoes, candied yams, green bean casserole, brussels
sprouts, corn pudding, relish tray of stuffed celery, pickles, olives, and
pickled beets, cranberry-fig chutney, sweet potato and orange pie, and
Ghirardelli chocolate cream pie. We'll be picking at this for days!

That sounds like a very pleasant menu! I wouldn't have thought to include
corn pudding, but it's a nice touch. And having green bean casserole AND
brussels sprouts wouldn't have occurred to me either, but I like the idea.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, and you're welcome. Corn pudding was my grandmother's tradition and
we both like it. I like brussels sprouts but my SO does not, so we always
need two green vegetables.

Ohhhhh....corn pudding!

Such a fixture of southern meals! At least where I grew up... And it
is always on the menu when I fix Thanksgiving dinner! That, and

I used to hate Brussels sprouts too, but then I found out that they are like
spinach. If you overcook them they develop a foul taste. If you cook them only
until they still have a bit of a crunch to them they are quite tasty. But I can
still sympathize with someone who has only had them cooked till mushy.
