So what was on Your Thanksgiving plate?

[Cannabic]

ok, I'll start,
On my plate,

Mashed Potatoes
Turkey Slices
Green Bean Casserole
1 Corn Cobb
Sweet Potatoes
Stuffing
and 1 glass of 3yr old Home-made Wine

[birdgirl73]

My plate contained samples of the following:

Smoked turkey and giblet gravy*
Ham
Brisket*
Cornbread dressing*
Garlic-cheese grits*
Green beans w/ almonds
Carrots
Cole slaw*
Cranberry sauce
Baked squash casserole*
A yeast roll

There were other things available, like mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole, but I'm not a potato fan.

There were also far too many desserts:
Apple pie*
Pumpkin cheesecake (ugh--not my thing at ALL)
Sweet potato pie
Brownies
Oatmeal-raisin cookies*

The asterisk notations signify the items I cooked for the meal (or took along). I did the cookies day before yesterday just because they're my husband and dad's favorites, so I took them with us and, yep, they got eaten, too. The best thing there was the smoked turkey!

[mattisnotonfire]

Ahhhh mate. Sounds amazing!

I wish we celebrated thanksgiving in UK. Would be like the treat of having two xmas dinners a year.

I'd have:

Nice tender turkey breast
Corn on the cob
Roasted potatos
Roasted veggies
Stuffing (lots of)
Pig in blanket (several)
Yorkshire puds
Cranberry sauce
Bottle of Old Speckled Hen
Hefty Joint.

Man, my mouth is watering! ;)

We haven't eaten yet but its kind of going to be a weird one.....lobster, abalone and hot fudges sundaes at a friends house. Don't ask me why or how.....i didn't think it up. :D

[birdgirl73]

It is a lot like two Christmas dinners, it's true, Matt. I often wish there weren't so much overlap in the menus. When I'm in charge of them, I try to make them distinctly different.

Do you Brits eat cranberry sauce with your holiday meals a lot now? That used to be a distinctly American thing, at least according to my British friends. I'm glad to know there are English folks who like them!

Sorry, Matt, I'm just now getting back online.

I'm in my second year, about halfway through the year (this time of year is pretty well our mid-term). So two years to go after this, then at least three years of residency after I get the degree. Next year is when we begin clinical rotations.

You going to be a general practitioner or a specialist of some kind?

Awesome...

I'm not 100% sure what I want to do at the moment.

General practitioner seems to attract me but I'm also interested in gastroenterolgy and hepatology.

How about you? :)

Sour-cranberry stuffing- I prefer dried cranberries but my mom insisted on the fresh ones and I thought it came out much too sour

Green beans with lemon butter

Brandied-cranberry cornbread (thanks VaporDaddy for the idea! It was outstanding!)

Pan-dripping gravy

A glass of Bordeaux

[beachguy in thongs]

I remember seeing a few sweet potatoes, white and dark meat, three deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy, this broccoli-stuff (somewhere buried), and, before that I had a salad with Italian dressing.

I may have had something else, I don't know. I see food, I eat food. Seafood, too.
