We're eating out but I usually make my Sally Lunn homemade bread and I did the turkey and the potatos and everyone else brings whatever they want. My daughter brings homemade pies and fresh fruit and her MIL brings her famous macaroni salad. My DIL brings her scalloped corn( I put the recipe in the recipe page here on the board) and we all eat way too much! And my mom does whatever she decides to do. We always have deviled eggs and mashed potatos and gravy. Lots and lots of leftovers.

This year will be weird for me but it will be interesting I guess. I am a tradionalist and would prefer a regular dinner but that is what everyone else wants to do so I will go along!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!!

I wish everyone a very safe & happy Holiday.

Do you cook it thawed or frozen? My mom cooks hers frozen usually. They say not to do that but she has been cooking them that way for over 50 years. What temp do you use? Just curious.

Maybe the holiday slow down in the mail is starting already. You know because of Christmas cards going out. It always seems to take longer the closer we get to Christmas. Some people are early birds on getting things like that done.
