Re: What are your plans for Thanksgiving Day?
We are just relaxing. We're only back a week from the UK and I'm sick of too much food and drink! I've worked alot of Thanksgivings and I'm glad my place is closed.

Re: What are your plans for Thanksgiving Day?
Since we have been here we haven't ever done a big Thanksgiving feast, we usually try to go up and ski as it is so quiet as everyone else is eating.
HOWEVER this year I am cooking a turkey, like Ian we have brought a Turkey breast and we have friends coming over to enjoy it with us - as they are American I will make yorkshire puddings to go with it and confuse them
This WON"T be becoming a new tradition, I prefer the days it is just me, DH and Daisy dog!!! - bah humbug!!!
Hopefully we will also head to the mountains over the weekend and enjoy some skiing!!

So what are you making??
I bought something at Costco yesterday...pumpkin maple butter spread. I had it on toast and it's delicious! There's a recipe online for rice krispies squares with this spread mixed in...I'm going to try it as my contribution to our Thanksgiving dessert.

We started doing just the breast a couple of years ago, so we didn't have to eat the rest of the bird forever! But last year I did an Indian recipe for duck with a cashew nut stuffing, and that has been requested again, and we'll keep the turkey for Christmas.

Re: What are your plans for Thanksgiving Day?
I'll be working. But I did get a free turkey today so might do the dinner with all the trimmings on Saturday as I'm off which is rare for the weekend.
Mr J isn't fussed about celebrating it, as he's one of those that bang on about how his people slaughtered the Indians etc, but he's not one to turn down good food
ETA sorry...I mean Native Americans
