The Thanksgiving Menu

There will be 17 people here on Thursday.  Here's what we're having:  (keep in mind, family members are contributing some of these items - I'm not making all of this myself)

Appetizers:
Deviled eggs
Veggies & dip
Cheese and crackers
Mozzarella sticks and sauce
Potato chips & dip
Peanuts
Shrimp cocktail
Pepperoni
Cocktail franks
Taco dip

Main Meal:
Turkey and gravy
Stovetop stuffing
Homemade stuffing
Sweet potato casserole (w/marshmallows on top)
Mashed potatoes
Carrots
Rolls
Turnip
Cranberry sauce
Corn
Cranberry jello salad

Dessert:
Krumkakes with whipped cream
Pumpkin pie
Apple pie
Birthday cake (for one of my nieces)
Mini Reeses Peanut butter cups
Macadamia chip cookies

I bet whoever in the world monitors what people are searching for (probably Google) will see a spike on Friday for the search terms "colon cleanse", "diet pills"and "weight loss surgery Mexico".  Of course many people won't have time on Friday to be searching out how to undo what they did on Thanksgiving because they have to be on line at 3am for a Black Friday sale.  I will not be on any of those lines.  I haven't attempted Black Friday in years.  The best thing I ever remember getting for my efforts was a free Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer book and video from Montgomery Ward.  Not too impressive, huh?  Do any of you do the Black Friday thing?  If so, what are you hoping to snag? Did you ever manage to get one of the fantastic deals where they only have like three of the item in the whole store?

The end.

  2. Your Thanksgiving menu sounds wonderful, Carole!
    I used to do the Black Friday thing years ago, but I don't so much anymore. I might visit one or two stores, but you can be sure that I won't be getting up at 3am to do it. :)

  3. Almost a duplicate of the meal at my daughter's.... She expected 19 ended up with 18 at the table. Isn't the holiday season great?

I read each and every comment, and though I don't always get a chance to respond, I enjoy reading (and pondering) what you have to say. Thanks for your 2 cents! :-)
