That's a really good idea, sw. I always have the biggest steak I can find for Thanksgiving dinner. I let everybody else have the turkey if they want it---the only request I make is that they be sure none of that nasty turkey juice gets on my steak. I don't understand how anybody can eat something that looks like a muscled up buzzard.
:lol: :lol: :lol: Now i won't be able to look at the turkey Thursday without thinking it is a buzzard! darn! LOL
We really like the fresh uncooked cranberry relish which we grind up and add ground apples, orange plus a little rind, walnuts, celery and sugar then some dissolved Knox gelatin to set it up a little. It tastes so fresh and zingy.
We always have "potato filling" (mashed Idaho potatoes with bread crumbs, onions chopped fine and sauteed in butter, parsley, eggs beaten with milk to make them looser than plain mashed potatoes and then bake it in the oven til it puffs up a bit. Really good with turkey gravy. Then pecan pies are a must.
TTB- I'm with you on the green bean/onion ring casserole. We hadn't had it for years til a friend served it and called it Retro Beans because it took us all back to our growing up years when our moms cooked them. I've made them since and could easily eat the WHOLE batch myself and call it a meal. yum
