In OC? You're kidding, right?

Best bet is OC Kosher Market in Tustin. That or Benji's Deli on Tustin in Santa Ana.

We're going to my cousins... they're getting turkey from somewhere, I think my mom is bringing most of the sides. Going to have stuffing, cranberry orange relish, cranberry orange pineapple jello mold, green bean casserole and olives. Oh and pie. But I can't stand pumpkin pie so I generally don't care about it.

Repeat the menu for Hanukkah, add mom's turkey with stuffing from the turkey, latkahs and remove olives and pie.

Not being Jewish, I really don't know. But I know I like a good bread

By "your'e kidding" I mean, "Good luck finding it," not, "duh, isn't it obvious?" I can't even vouch for OC Kosher market's as I haven't tried it, but it's pretty much the only option.

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.

Katella Deli has good challah. There are also Jewish bakeries around. If you're that curious you could call a local Synagogue and ask where they get theirs from.

Probably won't go that far, but I might pop down to Bristol Farms and see if they sell it.

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.)

That sounds delicious! We're going to my sis-in-laws house. I've been tasked with bringing an appetizer and will be whipping up a hot artichoke spinach dip.

Have you had a turducken before? I'm curious as to how it turns out.

Not sure what we'll do. Maybe go to the coast, have a nice drive, and pick someplace to eat. We went to someplace near Moonshadows one year and it was lovely and empty, looking out over the water.
