I am so sad! I had an all day meeting and missed so much (9 pages) of a great Thanksgiving day thread!
Where do I start???
- Stuffing goes inside the bird. It is no longer recommended to cook the stuffing inside the bird because by the time you get the "stuffing" up to temp, the bird is overcooked. Dressing is cooked outside the bird. Filling is what goes in desserts.
- There are no tomatoes in clam chowda and I am from the South.
- I don't care for marshmallows on top of my sweet potatoes but some in the family do. I have been known to fix a dish with marshmallows on one side and brown sugar strudel topping on the other.
- Gravy is good!
- Wine is essential for any Thanksgiving day. Start drinking while you are basting the turkey!
- Parades and football are also essential. Do not stand in front of the TV.
Saddest thing about this topic... I am having some dental surgery (an extraction and implant) this Friday. I will be only barely able to chew and we are not planning on having the big, crazy day that we usually host. I am bummed, but I will have all the mashed potatoes and gravy that I want, so I've got that going on!
((Kurben)) I think your plans sound just lovely! I have enjoyed catching up on the thread, and seeing what everyone has planned, likes and hates. Another round of meetings tomorrow, so I'll see what I missed after that! Cheers!
