We used to go to Linda's - and I preferred that, actually, both for the company and all the delicious new things to try. ;-)<br /><br />Jackie - we didn't get to see it because my mother and father-in-law were both too tired. I've heard from friends that it's wonderful, though.<br /><br />Proud Italian - thanks! And I have to admit, Costco does a darned good job with that particular pie.<br /><br />Linda, you have no idea how much I missed you guys this year! Maybe soon we can re-join again.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-39740538342472135202009-11-28T20:27:16.879-05:002009-11-28T20:27:16.879-05:00The reason we do it sort of pot luck is so that ev...The reason we do it sort of pot luck is so that everyone can bring an old favorite or a dish that they can't wait to try. We can no longer imagine Thanksgiving without Penny's cheesy baked onions or Mayumi's cranberry sauce with strawberries in it. I make a sweet potato dish that I found in a Junior League cookbook. The rest changes every year.

Maybe next year you can? (It doesn't have to be *on* the day).<br /><br />Los A - it sounds like you had a lovely time. As you said in your post - it's all about the gathering, really.<br /><br />Glamah - yours sounds wonderful. Have you put up that sticky toffee pudding recipe? I've always wondered how to make it!<br /><br />Thanks, Peter, we did. I'm sure your crew ate well, too. ;-)<br /><br />Goofball, thanks! You know, that's so funny, because I've always felt the opposite - especially in terms of Christmas traditions. It seems like each of my European exchange kids talked about all the specifics they HAD to have for Christmas. It may be that it depends on the country. Thanksgiving is our main meal that is similar, although given our diversity, there's plenty of variation in that, too, from family to family.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-75574842350672489392009-11-27T06:22:51.399-05:002009-11-27T06:22:51.399-05:00wow what a festive meal.

Sounds delicious...just as I imagine a traditional thanksgiving meal :)<br />That never stops amazing me: that American holidays are so strongly linked to specific dishes. I think in Europe Christmas (we don't have thanksgiving) brings a huge variety of meals on the table, more than in the USA.<br /><br /><br />Don't worry for not being local all the time, you already put so much effort in being local the rest of the year?Goofballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155032632164828945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-37011821962556413032009-11-27T04:36:12.130-05:002009-11-27T04:36:12.130-05:00It all sound delicious Jen!

I've been a fan of Ocean Spray canned since I was a kid, but that sounds really tasty.<br /><br />We made pumpkin pies and we're taking them over to a friend's house. She's making turkey and a veggie nutloaf. Other folks are bringing the other side dishes so I'm sure we'll have PLENTY of food.Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-13820918459638062912009-11-26T15:27:40.434-05:002009-11-26T15:27:40.434-05:00I had some slices of lunch meat and I'm about ...I had some slices of lunch meat and I'm about to have some chips.
