I'm having everybody over to our house again this year. Leaving now to go to the store with menu in hand. Am I missing anything?

Turkey ( duh)
Ham
Broccoli Cheese Casserole
Green Bean Casserole
Sweet Potatoes
Stuffing
Corn
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Rolls
Corn Cake (Kind of like corn muffins only super rich and moist)
Cheeseburger Dip
Spinach Artichoke Dip
Banana Cream Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Gooey Butter Cake
Cupcakes

It seriously feels like I'm forgetting something more important than the turkey.

What are you guys doing for Thanksgiving?

eggs for making deviled eggs!

i always make deviled eggs and bring the pies when i go to my folks' house for thanksgiving (this year i am skipping the eggs, though)

lennedsay · « **Reply #2 on:** November 21, 2010, 01:55:00 PM »

I'll tell my mom or my MIL to make that shit.

Edit: Just told my husband and he's like all excited about them now.

deviled eggs are the best thing

lennedsay · « **Reply #4 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:00:06 PM »

Googling "easiest deviled egg recipe in existence" right now.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #5 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:01:48 PM »

take a little shredded ham and minced onion and add to the egg mix before you stuff the eggs, it is the bomb-diggity

lennedsay · « **Reply #6 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:08:33 PM »

They look really pretty if you use a cake decorator.

It's up to spousey now. I can make them the evening before and put them in the fridge (if we have room). But that means a bunch more shit we have to buy and more time at the store and more time in the kitchen the night before. He's the one who wanted to do Thanksgiving, and now he's realizing that GT5 is coming out this week and he's made a huge mistake.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #7 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:09:45 PM »

What I use:

1 dozen hard cooked egg yolks
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp brown mustard
Mayonnaise (this is an eyeball thing, I just add until it reaches the desired consistency, I like my deviled eggs kind of firm so I don't add a lot)
1 can of ham (like the kind you'd use in ham salad) drained, and flaked
- for the onions, I take half a shot glass full of dried minced onions and fill it the rest of the way with water, leave it in the fridge for 15 mins and it reconstitutes, then you can just dump it in the mix and don't have to worry about messing up shit by chopping onions (plus i kind of like the flavor)

mix it all, stuff the hardcooked egg whites, sprinkle paprika on the tops, put the tray(s) in the fridge for a half hour, done

Awesome, will check this thread from iPhone(c) at the store. Thanks.

you can leave out the vinegar if you want, i like mine a bit tangier than most people do

You're missing Blended Pear Salad (aka Green Stuff) and Ham Balls.

lennedsay · « **Reply #11 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:16:30 PM »

I'll use lots of paprika though, because I LOVE FUCKING PAPRIKA!

I can't explain it, but it's like my favorite. I probably won't even eat these things, but I'll put paprika on them for good measure. And on almost everything else I cook for the day.

I don't know what that is, and I'm scared to google. If it's not a steak, I'm probably not going to consume it.

What Green Stuff or Ham Balls?

Green Stuff is blended canned pears, whipped cream, lemon jello and green food coloring. It's one of my wife's Nebraska concoctions, and it's really good.

Ham Balls are like meat balls, but they use ground ham instead of beef. We only have them whenever we go to Nebraska for Thanksgiving... O. M. G. They're incredible.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #14 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:31:18 PM »

what's the marinade/spice for the ham balls?

lennedsay · « **Reply #15 on:** November 21, 2010, 02:32:52 PM »

Oh at first I thought they were served together....

Ok, Ham balls sounds really good. Your other thing there reminds me of Watergate Salad that my mom makes that everybody loves but I won't eat for principle alone. It's fucking green and I'm gagging thinking about it. But I bet my whole family would love this Green Stuff you speak of.

It might be spicy brown mustard? This is the first link I pulled up:

My wife's aunt makes a sweet glaze for them, it's not brown mustard.

We go to Nebraska every other year for Thanksgiving, and this is a Nebraska year, I'm so looking forward to eating ham balls on Thursday.

This is what I started with, but I cooked it at a lower temp for longer, and used milk and regular corn because I didn't have creamed corn. http://www.food.com/recipe/shortcut-sweet-corn-cake-145775?scaleto=12&mode=null&st=true

Chevy's recipe is more complicated and has some flour in there that I didn't have, but I guarantee you could find in Texas with all that delicious fresh Mexican and Hispanic food.

Going to Philly and staying with friends for a few days starting Wednesday. Don't know whats on the menu as they are taking care of everything. I do want to go to a local deli and get some prosciutto and other fine meats for an appetizer.

Copious amounts of alcohol will be consumed. That is the only thing I know for sure.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #31 on:** November 22, 2010, 10:30:58 AM »

only thing missing for me will be greens (cuz my family's white) and some good sweet potatoes - we're having cheesy potatoes instead. fortunately i'll be stopping in at my parents, grandparents, AND my fiancee's sister's. plus i already had a thanksgiving meal at work last week. FOUR THANKSGIVINGS OMG

The only things we did differently were added a bit of sea salt and a teaspoon of soy, and didn't have vinegar, so left that out like you said. Also we had this specialty mustard that made it

Also finished gooey butter cake, vanilla cake with chocolate fudge icing, spinach artichoke dip, and the turkey is brining.

Everything else is tomorrow...

I just cooked for everybody, and when it was all done, promptly sat on the couch to watch the James Bond marathon while my husband brought me a plate and a soda.

I'm fucking exhausted today. Just ate banana cream pie with chocolate crust.
