Cool.

Huh. Seems once again I'm in charge of bringing pop (or sodas, or cokes, depending on your geographical region.)

Really, I'm capable of a bit more than buying pop. :lol:

My sis-in-law loves to cook the whole dinner. But just once I'd like to hear "you know, people just can't get enough of your Mashed Potato Surprise."

:lol2:

I'm so arrested development. I'm hardly even a woman. ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for taking us along via video.

Would it be rude to show up with a little dish of something that you made and see what the reaction is? Or are you content with being the Pop Girl?

Oh, it would be fine. Really, T does such a great job I wouldn't make anything to rival her anyway. I was kind of making fun of my consistent role in my family of "pop girl." I can be pop girl! However, someday when I catch me a husband he's gonna be soooooo mad that I can't cook. :lol:

You know this is all self-deprecating tongue-in-cheek humor!

I'm really good at bringing pop. :)

I'll bet you could bring a mean Soda or Coke too........

She'd be better at bringing beer. Shawnees does good beer and I speak from personal experience, so there! :lol:

We're excited about Thanksgiving. The Army will have a big spread for us at the DFAC. We're looking forward to our Thanksgiving cook out tomorrow night. We are going to BBQ a goat, cook a big pot of beans, and gorge on flat bread. Hmmmm!!!! We plan on projecting the ball games on the wall. This is going to be fun.

We'll start the goat early in the morning. We have Creole Seasoning to rub on it. We have dried kidney beans and black beans soaking. We'll cook them in a pot on the grill. I'm throwing some onion and tomatoes (canned) in with them. Everything will cook low & slow in our grill (a converted 55 gallon drum).

Steak
Baked potatoes
Zucchini bread
Dinner rolls
Some sort of dessert bought from the little bakery down the street

I sense an imbalance in the carbohydrate direction...

maybe a turkey sandwich from Wawa. I'll be wingin' it alone this year, methinks.

I like your menu periwinkle.

big sarge...Yours seems like a lot of fun.

I am having my family over so it's all traditional over here.
The turkey is thawing. The potatoes for mashing are waiting, the ham will be glazed,the stuffing will be stuffed. All I need is fancy thanksgiving themed paper plates,napkins (I'm cooking so I've decided not to wash many dishes in the process) The only food item that is not accounted for is the yams.

Are you in the Philly area?
