Thanksgiving USA (2025)

I made:
Cranberry Sauce, Thanksgiving salad, roasted turkey, dressing, dumplings, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, giblet gravy.
Friends made:
Green bean casserole, Yam casserole, crescent rolls, Chocolate-Pecan Pie, and Pumpkin-Cheese Gooey Butter cake.
We had pickles, olives, etc. to go with it.
I love to set the table the night before, but our three table-terrors (kitties) thought that the table cloth was a kitten-slip and slide. So had to set it up the day of and scurry in the morning to set up marking where everything would go. I was able to make the breads for the dressing the night before.

@Johnny West So true about it never being over. I am simmering the turkey carcass as I sit here typing. However, the true definition of eternity for us is a ham and two people.

She got a nice Polish ham at the commissary the other day. I’m not sure when we will have that. I have several meals I want to do and planning to get a rib roast for Christmas and do it on the grill.@Johnny West So true about it never being over.
