On behalf of the few Canucks on TOC, I have one question .... Who is going to invite us for dinner??? I dunno about anyone else, but I will happily bring wine and other spirits or dessert, or even make brekkie the next morning. |

Hell hath no fury like a canned cranberry lover that didn't get their favorite kind-whole berries in cranberry sauce, or the clear cranberry sauce. And of course both must be thoroughly chilled, come out still retaining the can shape, and the two types of people will never even touch the other type of cranberries. LF-your idea sounds wonderful, especially with the wonderful help of Delia. And you can do baked potatoes in foil also, and just have the butter, sour cream, and other fixings available. Or foil baked sweet potatoes, just add a little butter and cinnamon if you want. Edited by JanM, Oct 21 2010, 05:00 PM.

Foil wrapped veggies are great but for 25-30 people I need to get a little more serious. For a few people I love the foil dinners. Pull out the coals and bury the packets. Maybe I need to do the turkey that way? Have to think about that one. LF |

Ugh. Sadly, I too adore the canned sauce. Even though my dad makes fresh so there are choices. Thanksgiving is a bit of an epic event in our household. My mother generally winds up renting tables and linens from a catering service since so many show up. Being that I am a vegetarian, we do it a little differently. My father, head chef of the family, used to do turkey until he discovered that everyone hates turkey but loves the stuffing. The last two years he's made osso bucco with cuts from a friend in the meat business, thus, and bakes separate stuffing, which he does fabulously and is completely vegetarian. He generally does some large bowls of roasted potatos, roasted carrots, and whatever else he feels like. Usually there is soup, which seems a waste since it's so filling and there's so. much. food. Also, the aforementioned cranberry sauce. All sides are vegetarian. I do the rest of the sides - balsamic pearl onions, sweet potatos baked with butter, brown sugar, and pecans, and whatever else I feel like making at that time. Sometimes I do a butternut squash tart with caramelized onion. Also, I can never find frozen pearl onions within the days leading to thanksgiving, so it always winds up with me blanching and peeling onions over the sink, and cursing a blue streak because of what a PITA it is. Then, I also do the dessert - usually at least two pies, pumpkin and pecan-chocolate. Everyone else brings whatever. There are leftovers, and it is good. |

That's not cheating, the recipe on the back of the can of Libby's pumpkin is the only way to go! Though I splash in a little vanilla and it makes it very smooth tasting. I love making pumpkin pie. I usually do a pecan one too because that's Mr. I's favorite. I tried a sweet potato pie on year but it just tasted like bland pumpkin pie. Pies are my favorite thing to make and the only thing I really ever bake. Mostly because I make damned good pie crust. |

LF-you can have your main cooking fire, and a few others for the potatoes and veggie packets, and maybe a rectangular one for the veggies and potatoes would work. Just make sure you tell the neighbors what's going on so they don't call the fire department on you. |

Butternut squash tart? Sounds really wonderful; I have well over a dozen squashes from my garden and am trying to find new ways to use them. Any chance of posting the recipe? Please. |

Since our kitchen won't be ready until Wednesday (so they say....), I decided I"m not cooking. It's just not worth the stress and insanity this year. One of Mr. Indy's friends invited us over to have dinner with her family so we're going to do that instead. That will be much nicer than the frozen pizza I had intended to make |

Um....if by "in" you mean all of our stuff is in the lower level of the house but we're living on an air mattress with a suitcase full of clothes in an otherwise empty apartment (save for laptops and a small TV) until Wednesday night when supposedly our floors will be done, our stove will be connected, and the giant holes in the downstairs ceilings will be patched, then yes...... |
