Well, frak.

Thanksgiving is Thursday. We are having 4 guests plus us. The menu so far is turkey. Having never done this for guests, I'm at a loss. I assume I should have some kind of appetizer and other stuff.

Plz to be posting what you would like to see at your perfect TDay. Recipes links help angels earn their wings.

ETA: We are having two of Steven's Taiwanese students, as well, if it helps.

I know it's different in the northeast than it is in the midwest where I live, but we do turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (if you like it, we always skip it), green bean casserole (green beans mixed with cream of mushroom soup and covered with those little onion string things) and fresh baked rolls. For dessert (desert? the meal after dinner, I always forget which way it's spelled) we have pumpkin, apple and pecan pie, usually.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Believe it or not, I've never had green bean casserole, though.

Pecan pie, I had not thought of. Thanks Beth!

Green bean casserole, the good & easy way.
2 cans of DRAINED green beans for every can of cream of mushroom. for 6 people, make either 4 or 6 cans green beans and 2-3 cans COM. mix the hell out of them until all greenies are covered, cover with either garlic bread crumbs, crutons, or those french fried onions, and bake at 275, 300, whatever you already have the oven set at for 25 minutes or until the onion things are getting dark. The key to eyeballing it is that if any of the onions look like they are starting to burn, you're done.
It's a no-brainer, because everything is already cooked... you're just heating it and letting the juices oozle all over everything.
Enjoy!

make the green bean casserole. Soooooooooooooooooooooo nummy!

2 cans green beans
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 C milk (I just throw in about half a soup can)
1 1/3 C french fried onions

mix green beans, soup, milk, and half of the f.f.onions in a casserole dist (1 quart, I think). Bake @ 350 for, 30-45 minutes, or until it's bubble. Stir, top with remaining f.f. onions, and bake another 5 minutes or so, to crisp up the topping.

OMG good!

'Dessert' is the one with 2 s's - how to remember? Well, do you want more of dessert, or more of a desert? I know I'd rather have more chocolate cake :D

Desert is only preferable if we're leaving my MIL there.
