Thanksgiving is three weeks from today. What are everyone's plans and menus?
We're totally breaking with tradition this year. We are serving roast turkey, stuffing, canned cranberry sauce, roasted root vegetables, and my famous sweet potato pie. We usually don't have turkey because it's an economical choice that we have throughout the year. In previous years we enjoyed moose roast (the juiciest, tenderest, and most delicious roast we've ever had); rabbit stew; venison meat loaf; a seafood buffet; duck (one of our perennial favorites); pumpkin soup and homemade bread; and pumpkin, onions and pork country ribs. This year we were actually thinking about doing a turkey chili and cornbread, but then I came up with the radical notion of opting for a classic American feast.
Much to the chagrin of my relatives and friends, we stay home for Thanksgiving. My wife loves being able to sleep in (she has to get up at 6:00 a.m. for work), we don't have to get out of our pajamas, we don't have to deal with traffic, and we can watch football all day long.
