What's your menu??

We're goin' to the boats (read: casinos) and partaking of the buffet and the one-armed bandits!
We just don't have any family here and we already slaughtered our turkey, so that's why we're going down there!

My family always does a Waldorf Salad. One of my favorites - too bad I'll miss it this year.

Caye - In the states I always made a Waldorf Salad even though neither on of my children would eat it. Yummy - more left over for me. And I cooked Brussel Sprouts just to be mean - My son couldn't stand the sight nor smell of them.

Oooh, I LOVE brussel sprouts. Only get to treat ourselves to them once a year, Christmas day. And they are pretty pathetic looking by the time they reach here....

Oh.... you guys are making me think - hm.... waldorf and brussels YUMMY !

We have brussel sprouts every week, at one time I did not like them, now just love them

Turkey sandwiches the next day with Mayo & Marie Sharps hot sauce is my favorite! Can't wait till Friday!!

OK, so far yall are having waldorf salad, brussel sprouts and pumpkin ice cream (all of which sound very good by the way.
I don't see any menus though. Isn't anybody cooking a big spread?

That sandwich sounds pretty good too, J Dog!

I feel a big nap coming on...LOL

Well, if my Mom is cooking does that count? We'll be enjoying the whole spread. Similar to yours, but without the ham.

Have to tell you about it on friday!

Have a great thanksgiving.

All the best sandshaker.

Hi, Sandshaker. You guessed correctly...we are in Virginia. My family has quite a few great southern cooks in it.

I thought mom's menu sounded a lot like yours! Where are you?
