Just give me good turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pumpkin pie, I'm happy.
Hot dogs and chips ... what could be better then that?
I need stuffing too
mmm turkey, mash potatoes and gravy, sausage stuffing, drunken sweet potatoes, cranberry relish, veggies, fruits, dinner rolls, dutch apple pie, pumpkin pie. Trying to decide if corn bread casserole would be too much.
Mutton stew, fry bread, a beef roast and cherry pie for me.
I need green bean casserole, meself.
A local supermarket has whole duck and duck breasts this year.
I am going for duck breast, corn, crescent rolls, and pecan pie.
Fried turkey is lovely!
