Thanksgiving recipes

Got any favorite recipes to share?

What're you cooking this year?

The traditional, non-traditional is Thanksgiving at our house. This year butternut squash and corn tamales (No, I do not make these), stuffed passilla peppers, guac, salsa, pumpkin flan.

Failing that, a glass of champagne and a whole dungeness crab and loads of butter (and napkins)

We're going to Scott's Seafood for the second consecutive year.

I'm working.

I will (probably) be making scalloped celery root and new potatoes with shallots, nutmeg and cream for a post-Thanksgiving meal.

I used to cook the whole shebang every year. Stuffing and pies were my favorites to cook. I make a mean pumpkin/creme cheese pie with a pecan topping. Stuffing was always a fun experiment with wild rice, prunes, bread, sherry, water chestnuts (smell like semen too?) and a bunch of other stuff.

The day after thanksgiving I don't have the energy to put that much effort into a sandwich.

Lisa, if you're working, what is Chris doing? Does he need a Thanksgiving home? We have 7 at our table (6 of us are LoTters, the other is my mother-in-law) and there's always room for more.

We're having... turducken, roasted root vegetables with rosemary and garlic, green beans with mushroom sauce, butternut squash soup with roasted pepper puree, traditional stuffing, rolls, cranberry sauce, apple pie with salted caramel ice cream, pumpkin cheesecake, mincemeat pie, and some dessert bars (specifics of which I'm not certain, as they're coming with a guest.) All of it homemade, from scratch! (Except, maybe, the turducken? Also coming with a guest.)

Turducken is not from scratch, and not a true technical turducken, being instead a "roll" (or loaf, as I prefer to call it.) It is, however, authentically delivered from Louisiana. Sadly the mincemeat pie also will likely consist of pre-fab filling poured into pre-fab crust. Because I didn't know it would take months to prepare the filling and because there is no one I currently love enough to make pie crust for. Unless I change my mind. Which is possible. Damn, now I want to make fresh crust.
