Please share your Thanksgiving menus -

I'm tired too from reading all of that! Here's what to do with...

the can of cranberry stuff:.. Pop it out of the can, slice it, use your cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then garnish the edges of a platter with it.

 
Just 12, but everyone has their favorites and once I know someone likes

something I've made in the past, I'm a sucker........ smileys/smile.gif

Forcing myself to take a "sit" break right now, almost finished. smileys/smile.gif
Now on to cleaning the house!! smileys/frown.gif

Good luck to all participants in the cooking Olympics!! smileys/smile.gif

 
Erin, I still have two boxes I've never unpacked from my move from NY in 1987! smileys/wink.gif

I know what's in them. I just don't need it and I don't want to part with it. So I leave it safely packed away.

 
get some parts and cook today, slide in tomorrow smileys/smile.gif those 23-25 are a beast to lift!!

 
Thanks Cathy!! Have a great Thanksgiving! I made a lot Mon/Tues, so I'm in good shape. smileys/smile.gif

And Brussels Sprouts with Chives and Lemon Zest from the same issue

I can't find the recipe online, but all it is is blanched brussels sprouts, cut in half. (I cut them in half after blanching and chilling.) Butter melted in a skillet until browned, the sprouts added in and sauteed until browning a bit, then finished with a generous handful of minced chives and lots of grated lemon zest. Even the Brussels Sprouts haters eat them!

 
I meant to add that they had them here a month ago at TJ's but when

I asked this week they told me it was a "Halloween item". All the other markets in town seem to agree. They think it is a big gourd. I did buy a smallish one in October and cooked it and froze it for Christmas so that makes me happy. Not enough to take to the dinner I'm going to though.

 
Me, either. My mom just does steamed green beans w/ toasted almonds--I always thought

that's what it was. smileys/wink.gif (I still don't really know what the casserole is, but I imagine it involves Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup--not that I'm knocking the soup!)
