Everyone is currently all a-fluster about thanksgiving. Granted, it is one of the last politically correct holidays in this season. Happy Thanksgiving is much less critical than Merry Christmas. Heaven forbid that one makes a Christmas Ham or Turkey, but everyone can stuff themselves to their delight when eating a Thanksgiving bird. And then watch Lion's football (or rather, watch the Lions lose at football.) Any way, I don't have recipes today, just a run down of the Thanksgiving menu over at the Jamesview house.

-Soup. not sure what kind yet.
-Turkey, lots of turkey. A 18-20 lb bird plus parts
-Two kinds of stuffing. Brian's no-celery stuffing and my apple stuffing. Brian's will be in the bird.
-Fightin' carrots
-mashed bourbon sweet potatoes.... so tasty.
-Heart-attack mashed potatoes. Altered slightly from the original recipe
-Peas.
-something else that I am forgetting
-rolls

Desserts
-Pumpkin pie
-Apple cherry pie
other proposed desserts
-ginger-vanilla bean creme brules
-chocolate pots de creme with white chocolate whipped cream
-toffee cheesecake with caramel sauce
-white chocolate and Turkish coffee parfaits

Next up: Too much turkey? Turkey leftovers, hold the bread.

Edit:

Soup - corn chowder
Apple Cherry pie turned into cobbler
cancelled white chocolate and Turkish coffee parfaits.
