I don't know what we are having besides turkey. We've ranged from all out and all from scratch to turkey, pie, and not much else and mostly from cans and boxes.

This year, we don't have the diet restrictions we had last year, everyone is healthy, everyone but one son/fiancé are coming plus meeting a new fiancé-to-be-soon and dd's mother-in-law is visiting from the Dominican Republic and has never been to an American thanksgiving. And the other kitchen in the area we are meeting in is the ds/wife's small apartment that they is mostly packed up because they are moving from it 8 days later.

It should be interesting.

My mom/dad and aunt/uncle and grandma realized one year that none of them really liked turkey very much. They had meatloaf at thanksgiving every year after that. We aren't doing that but I'm not sure how much of the "all out" traditional we will do.

I was gifted a Butterball yesterday. Thankful, was going to purchase a turkey today.

We will have the traditional dressing, gravy, sweet potatoes, collards, maybe homemade potato salad.
Collards, taters and pickles for tater salad from the garden and the rest from the store. Haven't decided on dessert yet.

We're doing a store Turkey, again. Orange jello, and lots of other things I can't eat. Dad might be making bread again though, so my plate will be bread, jello and turkey.

Sorry to hear you can't partake of the full spread.

I'm wondering if toum would be good on mashed potatoes or stuffing...?

I bet it would be delicious on everything I'm making for Thanksgiving except the cranberry sauce and the lemon/lime meringue pie!

I had to lock toum up. Anything garlicky would be good on my potatoes

I thank Stormcrow for introducing me to the wonder of toum. I'd never heard of it before, and oh, my! my taste buds are much happier for it.

Hubby tried my home made toum, and said it was, "Good. Better than the stuff we had in that restaurant."

I laughed at this because it reminded me of a tale I'd like to share, if you don't mind...

My dad was a manufacturer's rep ("salesman"), and was out on the road all week but home on the weekends. He started bringing home a 30 pound turkey every Friday. My mother would cook it, and we'd eat leftovers all week, until the next weekend and next turkey.

Fast forward to my mother and I living together in her apartment after I graduated from school. It was time for Thanksgiving for just the two of us, and neither of us was in the mood for turkey. I made a meatloaf, but I sculpted it so it looked like a turkey!

I love turkey now, but for a few years I didn't want to even see it.
