Just me and my husband (family is still in NY; we're not, thankfully.) Husband does most of the cooking. Turkey is smoking in the BGE. Other dishes are the usual - huge bowl of mashed potatoes, dressing, sweet potatoe casserole, green bean casserole, fresh cranberry sauce, gravy and rolls. Only 1 pie this year (apple). I expect to be stuffed to the gills by 2, and asleep on the couch by 4.

I really know how to party!

Sounds like our plans. Just the wife and me, same menu except jellied cranberry sauce (of which I will eat none), and the addition of creamed corn. Oh yeah, and a pumpkin pie instead of apple. I would have had both but was overruled.

We do our turkey in an oven bag and rub Cajun seasoning on it first.
