What's for Thanksgiving?

[rps]

Several years ago, I started a thread on Thanksgiving plans and menus.

This year our traditional family and friends gathering will not happen. I assume the same will be true for some of you.

That fact means my wife and I will modify our menu.

Share the changes you will make this year.

Ever since my parents died and I became the head of the family we ditched the traditional meal.  Last year was chicken fajitas.  And my kids and grandkids love me for it!!!  Probably won’t get to see the older kids and grandkids this year so steak and king crab legs!!

Well done!

                       Already bought a small turkey. The Mrs. says they are cheap and easy too cook and make good leftovers. We will choose the day to cook it and call it our Thanksgiving. Think we will be alone this year unless something changes.

I feel that is directed at me so....   I had a turkey sandwich everyday for lunch for 25 years.  The last thing I want on a holiday is more turkey.  Just the last few years I quit eating turkey for lunch.  It was liberating 😂

Yea, we kind of changed up a little after my parents passed, same as @snagged in outlet 3 

My brother, sister, and I do separate Thanksgivings but we get together at Christmas. I think this year all the Chinese family is at our house for Thanksgiving. We will probably do a traditional Chinese Hot Pot. With special dipping sauces. The sauces are usually either ground up peanut paste or a more traditional finely chopped  garlic with dark sesame oil. The meats are usually thinly sliced beef, pork, lamb. Then there are always various coarsely chopped/sliced veggies. Then noodles and leafy 🥬 lettuce type slices. Half the pot is mild and half the pot is spicy. You’ve never had spicy until you put lettuce in the spicy side then try to eat it! 😂😂

I guess your claim that everyone loved you made me want to poke at you😄

But I get the point. Not everybody wants turkey, especially the guy who has 50,000 turkey sandwiches for lunch under his belt😄

We do a pretty traditional roasted turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy, sides, etc. Folks here appreciate it, or have enough tact to eat it without complaining.
