Thanks for making me hungry. I'm not making anything, just showing up and eating. But now I feel a little guilty about that...

We're also having a ham, a few other appy's, and a few other desserts, but I'm not doing those myself.

(Can I just say that I hate how TN automatically double-spaces things when you hit "enter". Annoying.)

Pssht, well thanks for making me pale in comparison, guys.  But there will only be 5 of us and I'm a vegetarian, so here goes:

Stuffed mushrooms and cheese plate to start

Turkey will be BBQed (not by me)

Green bean and wild mushroom casserole

Macaroni and cheese

Mashed potatoes

Maybe a green salad if I'm feeling the lack of fresh vegetables.

Homemade bread

Stuffing (my cousin is making this)

And for dessert, pumpkin cheesecake by me and pumpkin pie by my cousin, with delicious locally-made ice cream I got at the farmer's market yesterday.  Nutmeg!  It is so good.

And with that, I'm bronze!!!

Lark, I'd rather come to your dinner than my parents'. No green bean casserole at mine!  And I looooove pumpkin cheesecake.

Thanks, Mamie!  You're totally welcome!  Shall I put you down for two?  I think we're probably eating around 4, our time, which is like 7 your time so you should have plenty of time to get here!

mamie329

Yep, sounds about right. If we drive, I guess I should leave now-ish.

i'm not helping with dinner, but I was given dessert duty ? making 2 apple pies and a pumpkin cheesecake. I might make some chocolate rum balls too if time allows.
