Whenever I make it! My plans fell through again so it's just me today so I'm cooking my favorites at a very leisurely and relaxed pace. Just put a pumpkin cream pie in the fridge and I'll be making some other yummy stuff later.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

The family member who traditionaly carves the turkey announced by email to all 18 of those that are assembling around our table that dinner would be served at 4:53 pm. So be it!

What are you most looking forward to for Thanksgiving Dinner?

HU - Well....look at that, I forgot all about this old thread. 8 years ago? Wow! So, you are happy for Thanksgiving....what are you looking forward to? So, do you have family somewhere that you are not going to be able to get together with? We will not be able to get together with our family. First time in our lives that will be the case. Not one Thanksgiving or Christmas that we haven't been able to get together for a holiday dinner. So I'd say that is something to be VERY thankful for. And I'm a lot older than you are. [g]. And I hadn't thought about it that way until just this minute. So you did me a favor to bring this thread up. We are going to be making dinner, which we enjoy doing. We will have dinner ourselves but we will be delivering Thanksgiving Dinner to a couple of our kids. A small, easy, traditional dinner. I just got through making a food order. I looked at a weather forecast and it may rain on Thanksgiving, which would make it difficult to even have a short visit outdoors with anyone, but the forecast is wrong a lot, especially when it's an early one. So, what are you looking forward to HU?

Mabel, for the carrots, I reduce 1/2 cup of spiced rum and 1/2 cup of water to about 1/4 cup and add it to taste to 1/2 cup of browned butter and drizzle over previously cooked carrots with a sprinkle of lime zest. They reheat great in the microwave. DURGIN-PARK BAKED HAM 1 (5 to 6 pound) smoked ham 3/4 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 cup dry sherry 1 cup honey Whole cloves 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 Tbs. dry mustard Trim the skin from the ham, leaving a thin, even layer of fat. With a skewer, poke the ham all over at 2-inch intervals. Place the ham in a large resealable plastic bag, and place in a large shallow pan. Combine the orange juice, sherry, and honey; pour over the ham and seal the bag securely. Marinate in the refrigerator for three days, turning the ham every 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the ham from the bag, reserving the marinade. In a shallow roasting pan, with the ham fat side up, score the fat in a diamond design and stud with cloves. Insert a meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch bone. Pour all but a tablespoon of the marinade over the ham. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat thermometer registers 130 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and the tablespoon of the reserved marinade and brush the exposed portion of the ham. Cover with a tent of aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to stand for 10 minutes; then thinly slice and serve. 10 to 12 servings.

It looks like we may finally get a break from the rain tomorrow. Cooler than norma for July though. I went grocery shopping this evening & was planning to fix spinach tortellini. DH is working late out of town & I was running late by the time I was done, so I decided on something simpler. Whole Foods was having one of their holiday "bundle deals", so we're having bbq sandwiches with coleslaw. Will have a chocolate chip cookie for dessert as that was part of the bundle. We almost never keep any kind of sweets around the house, so it's a treat for us.

Our reservations are for 1:00. After, we'll pop into my brother's to say 'hello'--they're eating at 5, but we'll be on our way to the country, and won't stay for dinner.

We are having our family dinner between 12:30 and 1:00. I have all of my foods ready and waiting to be bagged up to take. We count our blessings today even though part of our family can not join us. Happy Thanksgiving all.

4PM.
And it will be ready...stuffed turkey, then put it in the oven at 8AM(21 lbs). Giblets simmering on top of the stove with celery and onions, for giblet gravy.
All other prep work was done yesterday.

Table is set, bowls ready for food.

Got nothing to do but relax for the next 3 hours.

Around 2 p.m. It will be my Stepson and myself. I will take plates of food to a fella from church who has no family. My oldest Grandson will be here for dinner, so we will have TWO Thanksgivings!

I'm not sure. Probably around 5:00 - 6:00. Finally finished the prep work and cleaned up my mess. I'm running behind because of the bloody finger. I sound English but I mean it literally. LOL Usually I have all my prep work done the day before. I still have to vacuum and set the table. I hope you have a wonderful dinner.

Went to the hog trough about 1PM with a lady friend. Sat there enjoyed a great meal. Food was unusually good today at least to me. I couldn't eat too much, didn't need to, but was so full I didn't bother with dessert. Didn't need to. Have a key lime pie and 2 pecan pies in the frig just waiting for me. The cat just finished her treat of a piece of ham I smuggled out for her and she definitely appreciated it. She was looking for seconds too.

Had a great meal around 3pm of Turkey, 2 kinds of stuffing, one with apples, pears and veggies (really good!) that had been mixed with stuffing mix and baked and all the other stuff at granddaughters along with her 2 little ones and many other relatives and friends. All I took was 2 pies and ice cream. Great Time!

About 4 pm I think. Not that I will be eating it - I have a bad eye infection - eye keeps swelling shut, and the antibiotics haven't kicked in yet. I'm not comfortable, definitely not in a sociable frame of mind. Dh went to dinner - it's at his parents house. I'm taking vicodin, eating shortcake, and enjoying time to rest. I'm glad that the rest of the family is enjoying dinner even if I'm not there!
