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.

thanksgiving is where i's a viking. you have my number, yy? i'm doing:

herb butter turkey w/ smoky sage giblet/bacon gravy
garlic mashed taters
andouille sausage cornbread stuffing

i'm not doing apps this year but in the past i have generally done things like squash or tomato soup, deviled eggs, veg/dip platter, cheese/crackers, hot cider, etc.

Any kind of cheese/dip you recommend?

Also, can I come eat with you? That sounds really good.

SURE, drive down to NC :)

Wtih cheese plates, I like a variety. So, I'd say a soft (like brie), a hard (like cheddar), and a blue?

With dip? Hahaha, I like the good old tacky onion soup mix + sour cream. I'm sure there's a better idea. You could do a hummus, maybe? I'd say nothign warm, cause you want people to be able to graze.

So tempting...

I have cheddar, definitely planning on brie, and I was going to give hummus a try. I've almost got a menu pulled together so I can shop. Bleh.
