Hmm. When we do Thanksgiving - which we haven't for a few years, because we have friends who invite us out every year for a restaurant Thanksgiving - I always tried to vary at least one thing, to prevent boredom. (Mostly on other people's parts, frankly; I'm a cheap date who will happily eat the same thing year after year, although I'm always up for a change.) But on average, let's see:
1. Turkey (Goose is for Christmas.) 2. Two kinds of stuffing (one for each end) I usually add sausage to one stuffing, and sometimes I try new things with that one, like mushrooms or chestnuts.)* 3. Potatoes and gravy made with the turkey drippings. 4. A green vegetable. Often it's sauteed spinach, but occasionally it's green beans. I'd love to do peas, but Bob doesn't like them. 5. One other vegetable, which we experiment with. One year it was two flavors of spaghetti squash, another year it was parsnips. 6. Cranberry orange relish 7. Pumpkin pie. If I have any energy, I try to do an apple pie as well, for those who don't like pumpkin. 8. Green Slime. No, really, that's its name. It's lime jello, Too Much Sugar, cream cheese, maraschino cherries. pineapple bits and sometimes walnuts. It's from a recipe of Bob's mother, and it's become a holiday must-have. If I don't make it, people complain.
Also, will try to contact you about the kitty.
*When I do Goose, I do dressing, not stuffing, because stuffing a goose ruins the stuffing - too much grease.
