Jose's family had the usual zillion-course pig-out buffet, but I only picked a little of 4 things. No more than any usual meal. I don't understand why people eat to the point that they complain they ate too much. |

Dessert menu here: Apple pie Pecan pie (supposedly "Southern style," too, whatever that means) Strawberry cheesecake One other cheesecake (this one from Cheesecake Factory, assorted flavors) Cream puffs Pineapple Asian (Korean) pear Two tubs of ice cream The family patriarch's home brewed herbal tea ... hopefully it can help with digestion.

I didn't really eat more than usual -- just more carbs than usual. I really liked the roasted butternut squash cornbread dressing I made. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I ate several things, but small portions. No bread, but I cannot resist oyster dressing. MIL made these spherical beets. They were great. |

My uncle went crazy yet again. It was good and all but the best of course was the leftover sammich I made this morning. I didn't even sit down to eat it. I stood right there, fridge door open, and scarfed the thing down while staring at the Orange Juice label. Glorious. |

 I've done that before, when there was just one of something left and didn't want anyone to see me scoff it. Ax: duck, salmon, squid, rolls. Some of my favourites tastes all in one menu. Please invite me next year

I like the sound of that, do you have a recipe for it, or could you give me a quick description? I'm looking for a new stuffing/dressing idea for our Christmas turkey, and I looooove roasted butternut squash. |

I'd love to try that butternut squash dressing. We had 4-5 of your traditional comfort casseroles, two salads, devilled eggs, fresh rolls, turkey, homemade cranberry sauce, and sweet potatoes. Dessert consisted of apple pie and pumpkin pie made from scratch by M&M'S. When I say from scratch, I mean from scratch. This was the first time she hadn't used a store bought crust or used canned pumpkin for the filling. It took several slices of each to accurately determine that they were indeed better than any bakery bought pie that I had ever tried. Of course, I still have to test them again today to ensure tht they hold up well over time, too. |

Yes, one cannot be absolutely sure, when testing only one or two pieces. One has to have an adequate sample to truly pick the winner.... |

It's the recipe from my local Trader Joe's -- they come up with their own recipes. This uses store products, but they're substitutable. I usually do it all from scratch (drying my own bread, etc.), could with this too. It sure was fast to put together, and oh my goodness it was tasty. Roasted Butternut Squash Dressing 1 box TJ's Corn Bread Stuffing Mix (12.4 oz) 1 package (12 oz) TJs Cut Butternut Squash 1 carton (32 oz) TJ's Chicken Broth 3/4 cup, divided, TJ's Gourmet Fried Onion Pieces My notes: Cut the larger pieces of butternut squash into smaller 1 inch cubes. Place on a baking pan, toss with olive oil, roast at 400F for 30 minutes or until tender and slightly browned. Dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Follow the stuffing mix box instructions except substitute chicken broth for water. To the prepared stuffing mix, add the roasted butternut squash and 1/2 cup of fried onion pieces. Spoon the mix into a casserole dish. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and uncover. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of fried onion pieces on top and return uncovered to the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. I also sautéed some celery and added it in. I loved the roasted squash in it. |

Many thanks, MS. I can work with that, and I agree, celery would be a great addition. |

I had lasagna bolognese on thanksgiving day. But I did manage to find a turkey and bacon sandwich for lunch. |

Thanksgiving Day Menu: Brined Turkey on the barbecue smoked with hickory chips. Oyster, Cornbread and Sausage stuffing Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Gravy Colorado Style Pork Green Chile Lime Jello Salad Green Salad Green Bean Supreme Casserole Candied Sweet Potatoes Rolls Variety of pickles, olives, cranberry sauce. The stuffing and sweet potato recipes were first timers. Sweet Potatoes were fine but nothing out of the ordinary, I just don't normally do them but they did turn out good and the stuffing recipe is a definite keeper. Also a new recipe for desert - Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake; with a crumbled gingersnap crust and seasoned with Chinese 5 spice instead of the traditional pumpkin pie spice. Definitely was a hit with all the boys
