Thread: Thanksgiving....guest or host?

This whole thread is making me hungry !!!!!!

I invited myself to my mom's. I'm sure she doesn't mind having her kids home.

I'm going to Crackerbarrel.

Are you hosting or are you a guest? If hosting, what are you making and for how many...?. If guest....are you bringing anything? Spill....

Just us. I like it like that too Might invite DH's ex wife, but no one else.

Typically I host, but this year I'm going to my mom's house. I'll be bringing my homemade vegetarian lasagna and vegetarian stuffing as it was requested. It's also my main entree as I'm a vegetarian. The requisite ham, turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, veggies, pies, cranberry sauce, salad, rolls and so forth will be on the menu. I cannot recall the last time I didn't cook the holiday...

Well, dinner is usually down at my grandmother's house - or in a nearby location where the entire family can actually FIT. However, it seems that for the past few years, my mother and I have been the ones to fix most of the food. My aunt makes mashed potatoes and my grandmother will fix a few things (even after being asked not to), but Mom and I are responsible for most everything else - green beans, sweet potatoes, corn, rolls, etc. We...

We'll be going to Randys place this year. He cooks an awesome turkey, way better than I can fix. I know he'll have stuffing and mashed potatoes, who knowes what else. I did buy the turkey today because I found an awesome deal on turkeys at Walmart. I will probably make deviled eggs and that will be about it. I am hoping that he makes this awesome two layer pumpkin pie again, that is one of my favorite pies.

I host it every year, I like the option of leaving the country though.... my husband would be all for that lol. I usually make the traditional boring turkey and a ham. I tried to change things up and serve mexican food last year and it didnt go so well with the extended family they dont like change hehehe! We usually have about 30 people or so over with both of our families.

Usually it's just us 3 plus my baby-daddy, lol! All of our relatives live back east. After dinner tho, we take leftovers to some friends.
