looking forward to...

[sarack]

here is my thanksgiving list, in order of excitement...

1. my uncle's deviled eggs
2. turkey/cranberry sauce
3. stuffing
4. grandma's scalloped corn
5. ham
7. grandma's pumpkin pie
8. rolls
9. mashed potatoes

i think that's all we're having. she makes buttermilk pie too but i don't like it. i'd rather have pecan.. which she mentioned she isn't making this year.

stuffing is my least favorite thanksgiving food! you can have my portion. It's a consistency issue... mushy bread = no bueno.

I love me some mashed potatoes and gravy though!

I really love green bean casserole but nobody else does and it's so labor intensive that I decided not to make it this year. I'm excited about SIL' cranberries. She makes them from scratch. I'm excited about the turkey/stuffig/potato/gravey mess. Yum.

Noooooooooooo!! I :heart: green bean casserole. It's not that hard. Do you have a crock pot? Put the green beans, cream of mushroom soup, milk all in the crock pot. Turn it on and let it heat up. Then sprinkle the onions.

Larzhope - then sometime you should have my stuffing! I don't like mushy bread either...mine is more just lightly moistened (I make a separate small dish for my dad that's grossly goupy as he likes bird stuffing and we don't do that).

I'm looking forward to turkey and cheesecake. I'm finishing up the cheesecake in the oven now, and it will take a lot of willpower not to stick a fork in it the next couple days.

green bean casserole is the easiest thing i've ever made.. labor intensive/ do you follow the directions on the can?

I'm most looking forward to NYE, I'm not a fan of end-of-the-year holidays. I would rather fast forward to 2013 NOW!

I have to make it GF so I have to make the cream of mushroom soup from scratch and I can't use the onions so I slice them thin and fry them in oil until they get crispy. It's not THAT much work really but I might save it for Christmas dinner this year.

This is how I make mine as well but not because i'm GF just because I hate the 'can of' stuff. I agree though it's not that much extra work but it is my least favorite thing to make for the holidays but I have to or else my dad and DH will be very unhappy lol

I'm looking forward to turkey, my grandmother's scalloped corn, stuffing and pie. And then the leftovers. Assuming my grandmother sends some home with us...

Still looking forward to all of it.

Hahaha UW, that sums it up perfectly!! all I can think about is eating!!

I'm not sure what I'm most excited about this year. Probably the stuffing/turkey/gravy/potatoes. I'm cooking all of it and I'm hoping I'm not sick of staring at the food to the point it doesn't taste as good, KWIM?
