Thanksgiving recipes

[Matterhorn Fan]

My mom NEVER made it, because she doesn't like green beans (esp. canned ones). I had polite tastes at friends' houses when I was with them for Thanksgiving, but it was crap (canned green beans). I was at my aunt's last year, and she made them with whole frozen beans, and it was GREAT.

(Nephy, you will never go back. Green beans aren't hard to prepare--it's totally worth it!)

I went to someone's house once where eggplant parmesan was the first course. Others had macaroni and cheese on the table. One year I went to Boma--they had all sorts of great stuff for T-day dinner (not one person I was with ate the turkey)!

My Thanksgiving theory is that you should cook large quantities of whatever your favorite dishes are, especially if you don't make them often. But I don't eat turkey, so I had to come up with a Thanksgiving theory that didn't include turkey.
