I'm just happy to have a tradition. We're too far from my family, and my hubby's fam doesn't "do" Thanksgiving, so I spent years stressing about where we were going to eat turkey. We finally ended up with our friends, another orphaned family, and now share our meal with them every year.Gayle Carlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783449240138097315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-64386263604651020982009-11-23T13:31:08.869-05:002009-11-23T13:31:08.869-05:00I totally enjoyed this blog post.

We do the cranberry from a can, too, Marian. And usually there's green bean casserole (although I made a healthy version one year and I think I was the only one who ate it--hey, it was good!). Mom does the turkey, stuffing, and almost everything else except one veggie (which I bring) and dessert. Okay, she bakes pumpkin pie but Ed's mom is bringing pecan pie this year and rolls. I want to do a healthy chocolate cupcake (is that possible???). Happy Turkey Day to everyone! Stiletto ladies, I'm very grateful to know you! :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SusanSusan McBridehttp://susanmcbride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-15379553345588964292009-11-23T08:37:20.794-05:002009-11-23T08:37:20.794-05:00I love the muffin tin idea, too!

It continues to evolve, but the core is the same: cornbread!! <br /><br />I love Thanksgiving: the family, the meal, the time of year. It's comfort to the core. =)Misahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09841388306033941061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-48633197485634786622009-11-23T08:35:16.397-05:002009-11-23T08:35:16.397-05:00Rhonda, thank you!

Pure genius. I'm going to do that this year so that I don't have to listen to complaints about not enough stuffing. And Marian, I gave up on the idea of serving salad a long time ago because nobody in my family ever eats it. And I am loathe to throw out perfectly good (albeit dressed) greens. Too sad. <br /><br />Enjoy, ladies! MaggieDea, Kia, Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343657178001614404noreply@blogger.com
