Is there a family member that (food related)
brings an odd food dish to Thanksgiving? My SIL told me she was going to bring crab casserole to Turkey day at my house. This is after I suggested sweet potato casserole, rolls, dressing, cranberry sauce or a dessert. (We prepare the turkey and green bean casserole and light appetizers, the rest of the family brings a dish).
I have never heard of crab casserole at Thanksgiving...but whatever works, I guess.
Re: Is there a family member that (food related)
One of DH's aunts always brings "that" dish--the one that makes everyone go "anyone know WTF that is??" lol
When I was younger it was my cousin who always brought the pink fluffy stuff. Very 80's.
I've been known to bring an antipasto platter but I don't think that's weird at all. Otherwise, most stuff is normal on my side.
I haven't been to enough of H's side to know, though there was an asparagus casserole once. I mean, it's November...isn't asparagus really out of season? Why would you casserole that?
To me, a holiday isn't a holiday without pink salad.
I don't care how disgusting most people find it, I lurv it. Last year for Christmas I made it for the ILs... 
Strawberry jello packet, tub of cool whip, can of pineapple chunks, and a container of cottage cheese. Bahaha I love it.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
We call the pink salad "pink fluff" - but it has cool whip in it.
We also have "orange fluff" - same thing, just an orange pack of jello.
My grandpa was infamous for putting strange things in jello, and not just at Thanksgiving. Grated squash, anyone? At his memorial service, my mom and her siblings shared stories of weird stuff he put in there. Growing up, all their friends knew not to eat the jello!
I have never understood putting anything in jello. If I'm going to eat jello, I just want jello, nothing else in there!
we are really the only ones who bring anything for thanksgiving, but we also have a pretty small gathering (my parents, my grandma, my ancle, my brother and his girlfriend, my sister and her boyfriend, my sister's roommate, and us--so maybe not so small, but except for my ancle, that is pretty typical for dinner at my parents house anytime we go over there!)
My mom makes matzo ball soup every year and this salmon dip stuff that H thought was weird, but now he is used to it.
