Refresh my memory....Isn't Christmas pudding one of those delicacies the recipe for which starts, "Take a pound of lard...?" (I still have the knot on the back of my head from suggesting we make those dumplings!)
Turkey, baked ham, dressing, potatoes, giblet gravy, green bean casserole, brussel sprouts and bacon, sweet potato souffl�, corn, cranberry sauce, yeast rolls. Pumpkin pie, sugar free Jello, and chocolate pie for dessert!

We got a turkey free from Al's workplace, so that, cranberry sauce, instant potatoes, and a store-bought pumpkin pie.
Oh heck, I've been reading too much ML...
"Store-bought" ....
One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

Dinner: Turkey with herb stuffing, Italian sausage and pecan stuffing, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, cranberry sauce, yams, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, apple pie. (H loves pumpkin pie. I make it on his birthday, for Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Leftovers for three days. We thought about going out to one of the local resort's Thanksgiving Day dinner, but that would mean we would miss out on the leftovers.
No shopping on Friday. We avoid crowds at all costs. That's why it is 40 miles to the nearest Walmart.

You're all making me very hungry, except...what's with the lack of roast potatoes? You can have mash as well, but a roast dinner needs roast potatoes - cooked in lard.
And a Christmas dinner needs Christmas pudding - made with suet, NG, not lard. They are entirely different things. How could anyone confuse them?

That is not what we eat here in America on Thanksgiving!!

WE do not eat that foolishness in this country...

I can't speak for NG up where he lives, but I know for certain that down here, we would prefer lard!
But, hey, dinner tonight for us primarily consisted of BACON, so maybe I'm a little hung up on pork fat...

Being from the hills,,the berkshire hills of western Mass, we saw Pigs head Cheese, and some blood pudding also, and I remember when farmers would eat raw hamburger..lol, and the game suppers..racoon, bear,possum,muskrat, to name just some of the delicious things....
Guess when your hungry anything tastes good, but I learned quick to be thankful for the vegatables that came out of our garden...The game dinners reminded me of roadkill, and from the occasional taste of it, made me think those hillbillys were nuts...
Ok so today was an awesome Thanksgiving Dinner and it was all I said already with much more desserts..
We're actually having Thanksgiving today. Prisca spent all day baking yesterday (which is why she hid the rolls...)
Starting off the morning with bacon!
