I could eat pumpkin pie all year, really any of the Thanksgiving favorites. Please pass the turkey and dressing, candied yams, cranberry sauce, ambrosia, green pea salad, corn casserole, wild rice, home-made rolls, pecan pie, caramel cake, and another piece of pumpkin pie. The only thing I wouldn't really miss is the green bean casserole and mashed potatos, I only make them because they are favorites of my sister-in-law and her kids, and I want everyone to have what they love.

I will help Syble eat the pumpkin pie.

I think I am the only person in the world that does not like candied yams. Just let me have them with no marshmallows or sugar, please. And you can take my share of the green bean casserole, too. But I am a nice guest and will eat what is put in front of me. (grin)

Cute story, and very typical. My daughter worked for a vet for years. Believe me, they've heard everything. My worst/best dog stories involved Snickers. A wooly Jack Russell mix I rescued from the dog pound. He was decently behaved food wise, but was into Christmas big time. Literally. Nobody imagined he'd want to open presents under the tree and one of them involved a cannister of bright blue chalk-line powder my daughter had bought for her step dad. Did I mention brand new gold carpeting? I had gotten the man a rather expensive watch, because it had just gone on super sale and he needed one. That present made it to his wrist, but he laid it on an end table Christmas night and the next morning it was gone. The kids and I found the remnants of the watch strewn on the floor of the bedroom behind the door. Nothing was left of it but the stem and part of the case. My son says "We have a REAL watchdog. He even has ticks. Bringing that dog home wasn't the most popular thing I ever did where my ex was concerned, and I am normally an honest and open person. But, I felt very sorry for the dog, so spent the entire next day calling around to stores looking for an exact duplicate. Well, I found out why it was on sale. It was a discontinued model. The fates smiled on me that day and I was able to locate one more and I beat it to the store on my way home from work and shelled out another hunk of my hard earned cash. I carefully placed the new watch under the same end table he remembered putting it on and then the ex "found" it that night. I chided him about being more careful with his belongings and nobody ever ratted on the dog or me. I looked in the mirror that night fully expecting my nose to have grown an inch or two.

Thanksgiving meal....quickie version

Nothing wrong with shortcuts, even if it's doing the whole meal that way. There's good shortcuts and bad shortcuts. Sometimes doctoring up instant stuff is quite good, and sometimes on it's own it's good too. OK, if you're a great cook and do it homemade, yes, it can be better. But... when you cook like my SIL, who takes a spiral sliced ham, bakes it about 3 hours until it's ham jerky, generic instant potatoes with twice the water (no need for milk she figures) with a can of generic gravy (watered down of course) with a bag of frozen corn microwaved so the outside is mush and the inside is still frozen, topped off with the lemon meringue pie which is a can of lemon filling (possibly lemon pudding?) dumped in a frozen pie shell and topped with..... Cool Whip! Yum, yum. And there's always leftovers! Wonder why? In that case I'd hobble on foot to the store and pick up a prepared meal! Or order a pizza. And don't get me wrong, canned gravy and instant spuds can be OK. But I add some butter to the spuds, not margarine and have found a couple of decent canned gravies. And I won't even bother making a pecan pie anymore. Aldi has one that's as good as any I've tasted. And for less than $5, you probably can't buy the nuts for that now! But I still want to try the pretzel pie! To me the holidays aren't a big deal anymore. Lots of family and friends are gone. Not a lonely time or anything, just not the incentive there used to be. It's another day. Yes I like good food but not into the celebratory end of many of the holidays anymroe. Especially the greedy ones!

Amber's rottweiler, Baby lived with us and one day she ate a bag of chocolate and peanut butter chips. The vet had us give her a little peroxide and so I did. She did vomit. I really hated putting that in her mouth. But great funny Jas. Sue

Once Ruby ate a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Her tummy was so full she could barely walk! The vet said she would be fine, just keep an eye on her and make sure "what went in came back out"...we had to make sure she wasn't bound up. Well. No worries about that ROFL! That night, her tummy was just a gurgling and she was very restless. I was starting to get worried as she was bloating. Two seconds before I would have gathered her up to take her to the emergency vet, she let out a toot so strong she kicked her back legs out!!!!!!! She felt much better after that. And yes. It smelled like fresh baked cookies. Dances.

I could eat Turkey year round.

I agree with Syble about the pumpkin pie, I love it, but we actually have a rule the first slice of pumpkin pie we eat is the night before Thanksgiving. The last probably some time between Christmas and New Year's. That way it's really a treat.

I could definitely live without sweet potato casserole. In fact they've never graced my table. - Gail

And I would love to see the green bean casserole disappear.

Most definitely Turkey, with Gravy and Wildrice Stuffing, for sure!
Pumpkin Pie & Pecan Pie w/whip cream, to top it off.

I agree, Green Bean Casserole... I could live without.

No green beans or yams on my table! I could eat turkey anytime (white meat, with jellied cranberry sauce), stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin and mince pie. My mother served a kind of frozen ambrosia salad which I'm trying to find the recipe for!

Our family doesn't usually do green bean casserole, but I'm sure I wouldn't want it for we did.

What's ambrosia salad?

Our family loves oyster dressing and turkey & homemade noodles. Also, date pudding is a favorite. We could eat this year round. But, mostly served at Thanksgiving and Christmas as a specialty!

As far as not seeing a dish again, I don't know what that would be with our family.

Once or twice a year is enough turkey for me..

No green bean casserole, not served here, but I do love sweet potatoes with apples, no marshmallow.
Love pumpkin pie, but have to have good home made apple too. My mom made the best, mile high!
