We also make stuffing in the bird - sausage and apple.
I miss jello salads and wish someone else in my family would eat them.
Turkey and ham. Apple pie and pumpkin pie. If our friend Jim comes, we substitute out the pumpkin pie for his family's squash pie.
I know what you mean about the jello salads. My grandmother used to make one called Yum Yum salad that was really, really good. I took it to a family reunion once and I don't think very many people ate it.
