J and S are coming down from Omaha. G and P are coming across town.
Z and A are coming from across the county. D's mom is coming from
Dallas. S is coming from down the street. So are some other folks.
I'm beginning to lose count.

I'm going to smoke a turkey, make cornbread dressing, make gravy. The
rest of the menu is pretty much up in the air, though odds are that J
will make a white bread dressing (Yankee, you know). We'll see what
we have to cook with a few days before the event.

On the other hand, a guy I know dreams of giving thanks by going to an
up-scale steak house and dropping a hundred bucks on a big, bad steak
dinner, complete with brandy and cigars afterwards.

I can see that.

Having two dressings is _not_ a bad thing.

My little bro and his family (wife and three young daughters) are flying
down from PA to visit us over Thanksgiving. We don't have any family here in
Houston (or anywhere else in this part of the country), so it's always nice
when we get to spend a holiday with family members. Some friends of ours who
live an hour and a half away will also join us on turkey day (we've spent
Thanksgiving with them for the past 10 years or so).

Still working on the menu, but I'm thinking of having the following:

- Fried turkey (we've never done this ourselves, but the brother who's
visiting gave us a turkey fryer last Christmas and has done several of them
before, so he'll assist us)
- Roasted turkey breast
- Sausage-cornbread stuffing/dressing (done in the Crockpot--did it this way
last year with excellent results)
- Gravy
- Garlic mashed taters
- Broccoli-cheese casserole
- Squash casserole (Jill McQuown's recipe)
- Lemon-tarragon green beans
- Orange cranberry sauce
- Pecan and pumpkin pies
- Assorted wines/soft drinks/water/coffee

Where do you live that has 4" of snow and 21 deg. F.? Sounds like nice
weather to have for Thanksgiving.

November.

We're moving into our new house two days before Thanksgiving. And by new I
mean NEW. The builder keeps assuring me it'll be done for us to move in,
and it's looking like it should be.

The counters are going in Tuesday, and the appliances are being delivered
that day too. My cupboards are up already. The woodstove is in.... I'm so
excited.

I have no idea if I'm going to be up for making a Thanksgiving feast on
that way. I might shove it back a few days. We have the whole week off to
deal with the move, so moving it around might not be a problem. And if I
move it, our friend who works in a restaurant and never gets any holidays
off will be able to join us without being exhausted. Maybe I'll make it for
Saturday or Friday instead.

Here's a link to photos of the building process. I don't think have photos
of all the cupboards being up and their hardware being on but otherwise
they're up to date.

Thanks. We're not very handy people when it comes to puttering around the
house, so we're paying an awful lot of money to make sure everything is
done and done right so we don't have to think about it. Everything we own
is being put into this house, and it's the culmination of over five years
of dreaming on our part.

I suspect our house will attain "charm" after we've been in it for a while
and made nice little additions.

What's tuck pointing?

Yep. Also to compare the taste of roasted to fried. (We also love turkey
breast meat.)

A friend of mine did her entire brick foundation. That's her, she's
the original Martha Stewart, I swear. What a chore.

Yeah, Siobahn's place looks very cool.

I have a 52-year-old house, too. But the siding is redwood, not
brick. Tres moderne. Tres cool. I love my house, too, even if it
does develop a hitch in its getalong now and again.

OBFood: D's making boeuf bourguignonne for dinner tonight. Warm food,
for a cool day.

OBOldhouse: I have to get myself to the hardware store to get stuff
for the bathroom light fixture today. Its getalong seems to have a
hitch this morning.

"Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes."

I'm going out to eat again this year, as I live alone and it doesn't make sense
to make up all that food for just one person. I'm going to a fancy hotel
Wednesday afternoon, have a nice supper and a bunch of drinks at the hotel bar,
spend the night, and Thursday morning check out and go directly to the early
lunchtime buffet. After I'm stuffed, I'll go home and sleep it off on the
couch. I did the same thing last year, and the buffet was outstanding. I
can't wait.

One word of advice for fried turkey is that you set the turkey fryer in a grass
area, and put a piece of cardboard or plywood down on the grass and set the
fryer on it. You don't want to set it up on or near concrete if you can help
it as it gets messy from oil splatter.

I've found the Emeril fried turkey recipe is very good, with the injection
marinade; you could get the recipe at the food network website. He did a food
network special where he fried a turkey and showed how to do it; it's worth
watching if you're going to fry a turkey as he gives lots of tips and tricks.
I'm sure they'll be playing it sometime before turkey day.

It's sure to be a hit. Fresh ham is the ultimate "pork roast"!

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep them in mind.

I'll do a TiVo search to see if/when the Emeril special will be on.

I think so too!

I am going to, at age *gulp* forty-three, be hosting for the first time.
Parents and two best friends, with thier social attachments (husband and
nephew).

What can I say, my parents live ninety miles from here.

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

I am planning to Keep It Simple (Stupid).

I have already farmed out the pies.

I have cookies and truffles in the freezer for right after.

I will also farm out the dressing. We don't do dressing in my family.

I had considered making parker house rolls a la my late grandmother, but
will farm out rolls as well.

Mom will bring gravy from the freezer from the last time she cooked a
turkey. Saves on the last minute stuff.

So, turkey, mashed taters (easy), a couple of other veggie dishes; I am
thinking of mom's vegetable salad, which is do-ahead, and maybe green
beans for the traditionalists.

I'll figure out what to do for pre-dinner nibbles, or have a first course
of green salad with toasted nuts, red pear slices, and blue cheese while
the salmon for the fishitarian cooks.

I have a lot of work to do around the house though!
