I made two pies, one pumpkin and one apple, apple is still baking! I will also be making a coffee cake for breakfast tomorrow morning. Then the wife and daughter takes over for the rest!

On my own this year for the first time in 62 years. Gonna warm up a canned ham, mash some taters, and use gravy from a jar. Got plenty of beer and I'll be watching the COWBOYS! later in the day.

^^^^^^^^ . ^^^^^^^ We're not turkey lovers, so tomorrow will be roast beef with collard greens, sweet taters and whatever else my wife decides she wants to cook. I'll be a little bit shocked if some sort of regular potato isn't worked into the menu somehow.... She bought one of those "Edward's" chocolate pies for desert.

I made 2 pumpkin pies last night. I make a sugar cookie crust and use sweetened condensed milk vs. evaporated milk. I also put extra spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger) in the pie. Currently baking some sweet potatoes to make mashed sweet potato with maple syrup. Turkey going in soon. Green bean casserole will be the last thing to make.

Me too!!! Good luck with your bird! Got a spare in the oven just in case. My wife's favorite holiday so she's been cooking for 2 days. Both my girls will be here so all is good!

lovely wife and i are the only family here, and it's been that way for many, many years. we are very thankful for each other, and how our lives turned out. no need for 57 servings of different things for us. just going to be a roasted chicken with stuffing from the local grocery store.

Fried 2 breasts for my family on Wednesday. We were free for Thursday, so I made lasagna, and told anyone in our family/friends group who was free to come by. Frying a whole turkey tomorrow for the wife's family. For the first time, I'm trying out brining the turkeys prior to cooking. The first meal turned out great.

We did our turkey in the crock pot this year, worked very well. Made homemade mashed potatoes (peeled the potatoes myself, as always) Wife made her pumpkin pie, and we had sides like green beans and corn.
Relatively small this year, with just our immediate family, which now includes my Granddaughter, Scarlett, born 11/20/22!
