Thanksgiving Dinner

[sprtsracer]

Well...the wife has to work today (works at Winn Dixie) so since I usually do the cooking anyway, I'm doing the Thanksgiving Meal. Here's the menu:

Herbed Roasted Turkey Breast (there's only two of us)
Baked Bread Stuffing
Green Beans Sessame
Garlic Mashed Potatoes (Real ones)
Baked Acorn Squash Rings
Fried Corn (in olive oil with herbs)
Garlic Bread
Gravy (from scratch)
Whole Cranberry Sauce (from scratch)
Chocolate Pie with REAL whipped cream (I like pumpkin or sweet potatoe, but wife won't eat it!)

Are any of the rest of you doing the cooking?

My wife and I save our big meal for Christmas (because it's the only time we can get the kids together) and go out to one of the restaurants with my parents for Thanksgiving every year for a late afternoon dinner. But I'm afraid I started a new "tradition" that's now going to be expected. :)

I took a couple of days off earlier in the week and caught four small rainbow trout on some PowerBait down at the river- cleaned 'em up and hid them in the refrigerator hoping my wife would not find them - got up this morning and got 'em ready to fry as soon as my wife woke up, so we had them with some homefried potatoes and slaw for a late breakfast/early lunch this morning. I was hoping I could catch enough for a bigger fish fry for Thanksgiving dinner this year (she'd given the aok on that), and I was going to do it, but the fish just didn't cooperate as much as I had wanted. Anyway, it was a nice "change," and like I said, I think I started a new tradition.

This year we both worked Thanksgivng. The people that we were having over worked also so we are having our dinner today. I am a little tired of turkey so we are having Prime rib and ham this year. We are not cooking as we are doing work on the house and the dining room is full of parts. We went to Safeway and ordered two meals..(prime rib and ham)..This is the first time so we wil see.
