Menu

[mrissa]

bafleyanne posted her planned Thanksgiving menu, and it's somewhat different from mine. Um. A bit.

We're having:
squash soup with fried sage leaves and a drizzle of sage butter
lasagna, one pan of Italian sausage and one of hamburger for the older set
rosemary buns with optional sun-dried tomato spread
baked yams or sweet potatoes, depending on which looks good
broccoli diablo (with red bell pepper bits and tarragon and mustard and so on)
raw veggie tray and dill dip
lefse
lingonberries
pickled herring
wild rice pudding with sour cherries
pecan pies and pumpkin pie, made by Grandma

Lunch will be turkey sandwiches (with some cheese sandwiches for Grandpa), but I don't like turkey enough to make one and have it coming out every orifice for months, and as I am in charge Thanksgiving, that means lasagna. Festive lasagna! Yummy lasagna! Everybody likes lasagna, particularly me.

What are you having?

Oh, that sounds lovely.

We are going to David's mother's house, so some things are set in stone and some aren't. In stone:

Turkey with chestnut breadcrumb stuffing
Pumpkin pie
Mince pie

I am making the pies, and have not yet decided whether the pumpkin will be vegan or not. If it is not, I will make an apple pie too.

Not in stone:

Green beans
Cauliflower with garlic and ginger

My mother is bringing those.

There will almost certainly be mashed potatoes and gravy.

We used to have a salad but nobody ever ate it, even me.

"We used to have a salad but nobody ever ate it, even me."

Thanksgiving is all about starch.
