Lemme see if I can find last year's menu, then. Admittedly, Aunts will be bringing a couple of dishes, so there's the answer to what we're not making.... *chuckles*
Twenty-plus pound turkey. Gravy. Dressing. We bake it separately, so it's dressing, not stuffing, which would be cooked inside the bird. But that's a distinction that's slowly getting lost. Biscuits/yeast rolls, at least one and generally both. Green beans (and/or green bean casserole) -- cooked with either bacon fat or ham pieces and an onion. Say... four quarts, probably? Corn (probably 2 quarts and a pint). Mashed potatoes (fifteen pounds or so). Cranberry salad. Five-cup salad. Waldorf salad. (Aunt 1) Green salad. (Aunt 2) Vegetable tray. Pimento-cheese celery. Cream-cheese celery. Pumpkin pie. Pecan pie. Cheesecake. Brownies.
