Sunday Stealing: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Meme

It's Thanksgiving in the States! Wishing everyone a lovely holiday! 

This week's Thanksgiving Meme comes from the archives!  

1. What do you have for breakfast on Thanksgiving?
Oatmeal usually.   Then I make sweet potato casserole for later.
2. Do you go to a Thanksgiving parade or watch one on TV?  
I don't watch football but all the guys do.  I wish there weren't any games on to be honest.
3. Do you serve appetizers, lunch, or snacks during the day?  
We sometimes have a veggie and dip appetizer but dinner is served midday so not many snacks, no.
4. What are the traditional favorites?  
For the meal or appetizers?  We have Roast turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed garlic potatoes, candied yams, green beans, rolls and pies.
5. What new recipes will you try this year?
Our family likes all the traditional foods.  This holiday comes only once a year.

7. Who gets to carve the turkey?
BIL carves the turkey.  He's really good at it.
8. Family style around the table or buffet style and everyone sits wherever there’s room?
Family style and everyone fills their plates from the counters unless we have outside tables, then it's buffet style.
9. How many will be at your table this year?
There will be at least 10 maybe 12.
10. Once you're at the table, do you say grace or a toast or does everyone go around and say what they're thankful for?  I say grace twice a day but no one else in this side of the family does it so, no, no grace, no thankfulness, just being happy in each others company.
11. Cranberry sauce… yay or nay?
Like it. So, Yay
12. What time do you eat Thanksgiving Dinner?  
Around 2pm
13. Three best pies for Thanksgiving dessert?
