We have a really eclectic Thanksgiving menu, due to the combined family traditions of about four different families (we do Thanksgiving with friends, not actual blood-related family).
Mom and I are doing: - 18 pound turkey - pineapple stuffing (for half the family) - sausage and wheat bread stuffing (for other half) - mashed potatoes - gravy - roasted white corn
Aunt #1 is doing: - cauliflower gratin with mustard and kale - carrot souffle - pumpkin cupcakes - picadillo appetizer
Aunt #2 is doing: - pulled bbq pork sliders - spinach and artichoke dip - blackberry and raspberry torte - peach pie
My vegan best friend is bringing: - stuffed eggplant - asian ginger salad - soy milkshakes
There's usually beer, wine, and some sort of experimental mixed drink (Mom's voting for spiked cider).
Exactly how we're going to fit 12 people and all that food into a rowhouse is beyond me, but we're going to try!
