I have a ham in the oven. I sent rolls and soda with my niece back to the house. My contribution is almost complete.

My cousin has a lot of food issue so my aunt and uncle eat at her place so they don't mess up. Then my cousin decided to eat at my aunt and uncles place because she ended up with a lot of people that she didn't want at her house and felt unable to tell them not to come. So she's bringing the meal with her to my aunt and uncles house. When DH first came out of the hospital there was a lot he couldn't eat, at parties I brought what he could eat with us. No one had to accommodate us. That's just rude and inconsiderate. I did have a peanut free flight thanks to someone claiming to have a peanut allergy. It was a few hours so not that big of a deal but considering one of the offerings of food you could buy was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as well as being something you could purchase in the airport and bring on board, I was wondering the point?

The turkey is all seasoned up and in the oven. Now I'm boiling the water for the mac and cheese. Mom and aunt are sitting and watching the Philadelphia Thanksgiving parade on ABC. Rick Williams and Cecily Tynan 4eva!

I slept until 9, had half a pumpkin bagel for breakfast, lounged around a little, went for a 4 mile run, showered, and now I'm waiting for my cucumber mask to dry. Leaving for hubs' aunt's house in two hours. I love Thanksgiving.

I've been cooking for 5 hours! And - no where near done! How does this work? Why do we have to spoil our days off with all these holidays? You realize that you only have the day off BECAUSE OF the holiday, right? And what, you really don't expect them to give you one of those for free, do you? No, they make you work for it!
(Another reason I am glad to be a guy.)

Taking a break to nurse the baby. Turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, cranberry salad and stuffing is all done. Just need to finish the mashed potatoes and set the table. I'll warm the rolls right before we eat, so just about done! Since I'm cooking for 15 instead of my usual 50+, this year feels like a total breeze!
We made cinnamon roll monkey bread and eggs for breakfast, watched the parade, and DS made marshmallow snowmen. We made cookies from scratch last night. It's been a perfect day!

After using scissors, a steak knife, and a butter knife we managed to push the cork into the bottle. Then we used a trouser sock to strain out the cork while the wine was poured into a bowl. I was having that wine dammit! Lol
It was actually pretty good.

Made a full Thanksgiving feast for the three of us, except for the cranberry sauce and stuffing because no one will eat it (but both corn bread and homemade regular bread, plus quiche with from-scratch crust). DS 2.5 flatly refused to try any of it and had an instant breakfast milk drink instead Maybe I can get him to take a bite of pumpkin pie? Frankly I'm always a little disappointed that Thanksgiving cooking winds up being so easy...seems like the difficult bit is just having everything hot at the same time.

We went to our church potluck which was amazing! The church provides the basic turkey and dressing and the congregation brings an unbelievable variety of sides. We are VERY diverse so today I had (and this was only a small part of the dishes served) kale salad with pecans and dried cranberries, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, shredded beet salad, caponata, deviled egg, Cajun fried catfish, Turkish meatball, tadigh (Persian rice), Louisiana dirty rice, flan, and fresh blueberries.
And a nap.

So we had an "interesting" thanksgiving meal today DH and DS don't like Turkey, no one except for me cares for the stuffing. So DS suggested that we change tradition this year. So....we did. Everyone picked a favorite dish of theirs, it didn't have to gel with the rest of the dishes chosen by another person, and we'd just make and eat those. Our Thanksgiving meal looked like this: Curry Chicken with rice Samosas with chutney Thai Spring rolls & Flan LOL!! We loved it though. It was a gorgeous break from tradition

Dh just finished loading the dishwasher. I made the pumpkin pie yesterday And peeled the potatoes. Today was stuffing and the bird. And opening up a can of cranberry sauce. I love the canned stuff. Dh has wisely decided to live with it rather than be told to make it himself. Lol.

Tomorrow DH and I will roast a turkey breast and make sage dressing and roasted broccoli. We decided against brining the T-breast and instead we're letting it sleep in a yogurt marinade. Tomorrow we will wipe off the excess yogurt and give it massage with dried herbs before letting it relax in a turkey sauna at 325 degrees.

Working on it. After peeling 200 lbs of sweet potatoes, I was informed that nephew only eats canned. Me: I dont have canned. Her: Well he wont eat those and he cant have Thanksgiving without sweet potatoes with lots of marshmallows. Me: Tough shit. The disclaimer is Ive been informed that one has to be gluten free...one is a vegetarian...one wont eat anything cooked in teflon and then the sweet potato issue. Im just hearing all of this (except the teflon thing). Told DH to take his relatives to the store so they can buy and prep what they need. I can barely get one meal on the table nevermind accomodate all this other stuff. The fun begins. Next time a thread about food allergies pops up, please re-post this. This is the point I try to make, but it gets drowned out by the responses of "do you want to kill my child", "it's really not that much work to make sure there's no ______ in anything", "you're an awful host if you don't research and accommodate the allergies, preferences and wishes of all guests".
It's not that you're trying to be a witch, but at every meal where there are more than 2 or 3 people, there will be at least one allergy, preference, religious prohibition or wish. Multiply that over many people and it quickly becomes unreasonable to ask a host to research, keep track of, plan and implement a meal that caters to everyone. Not only that, but for many people Thanksgiving is a holiday about celebrating with a plentiful "feast" and by the time you eliminate all foods that might not work for every guest, the meal can look decidedly Spartan to the crowd.
A good host will do what s/he can to make a variety of foods so there's a good chance everybody will be able to eat at least something. For the guests that have a very strong preference or a food allergy, it's a lot more reasonable to just bring your own food than to ask that the host and all the other guests twist themselves into a pretzel to accommodate you (and all the others who also have strong preferences or allergies.)
One of my sons and I have some food issues ourselves, and we practice what we preach in not asking hosts to change menus for us. There's almost always something we can eat, but if there's not we eat before or later. Not the end of the world.
If someone has a life threatening food allergy to peanuts, I can accommodate that. If someone has the inability to control themselves around pie....TFB. They show up Tues night and start with all their assorted food requirements first thing Wed morning and Im thinking...no way. After listening to them, it would seem the "gluten free vegetarian" pair are just employing another fad to lose weight....anything that avoids putting the fork down. Even after DH offered to take them to the store they declined, as they didnt want anyone to "make a fuss". Whatever. They didnt seem to have any trouble finding food to pile on their plates. FWIW, I employed nephew as the official sweet potato casserole assistant and had him help me. He loved it. I was happy to show him that sweet potatoes dont require a 3 inch crust of brown sugar, marshmallows and candied nuts to taste good. SIL still moaned, but nephew came back 3 times for more.

DH and I had a bit of miscommunication last night; since I’d bought turkey drumsticks he thought I was an expert at preparing them. Since he does all the dinner main dishes, I assumed he knew. We planned to eat at 7 and he had some idea that he could grill them in half an hour or so, and started thinking about it at 6 PM. I ran to the computer. Nothing under 90 minutes’ grilling/roasting time. We chose a recipe that required oven-roasting because it was cold and rainy outside. Turkey legs need a lot of slow cooking and turning over, and DH has found that sometimes cold weather slows down the grill even more. So, we didn’t eat till 8 PM but it came out fine. I gave particular thanks for the second stove downstairs; we had the oven upstairs pulled to they could install a gas line, and Monday we’re getting our new gas cooktop (finally!) and they’ll put the oven back into place. Without that, grilling would have been the only option.

so I'm going to roast my turkey on Sunday, for whoever shows up to watch the Pats game at 830. I have Monday off, so I don't really care how late I'm up if I end up making stock that night. or, I could just make it on Monday, really doesn't matter much either way. I pulled together a shopping list for what's missing from my pantry to brine/roast the bird, and all I absolutely need is a new "holiday pack" of fresh herbs and a few oranges. that is both impressive and amazing, and my wallet appreciates it. I will pick up a batch of butternut squash from the local store's hot food bar, that stuff is like crack. GRG a/k/a goldenrulegirl and Malarky can likely attest to this as well! going with what's in my fridge/pantry, this will be the menu *I* put out. whatever anyone else chooses to bring is additional. roast turkey and gravy bread stuffing, cooked separate from the bird roasted red potatoes (roommate's specialty!) butternut squash prosciutto-wrapped broiled asparagus brown-and-serve rolls (extras donated by yesterday's host, still uncooked) crescent rolls brussels sprouts and pancetta - as long as the sprouts are still okay. I bought them last weekend and haven't cooked them yet. I still want my leftovers and stock, dammit!

As the mother of two kids with life-threatening, anaphylactic, food allergies, I have to say I have never seen those types of responses on any of the threads about food allergies on these boards. Or, at least, *I* have NEVER posted anything like that because that is NOT how my family and I handle the allergies. I will politely request that the host not put out bowls of tree nuts and a nut cracker or steamed edamame. And I might even ask about the menu to see IF there is anything the host is preparing that my kids might safely eat. But, I don't issue edicts or demands or throw around allegations of assault with intent to kill and I really have never seen anyone here say such things. (Maybe I am overlooking those fun threads... ) I also don't personally know of others with food allergies who act or would act in the way you described above. (I tend to choose drama-free friends in general anyway although family is a whole nother matter over which I had no control in choosing, LOL.) So, yesterday, even though I was not hosting and was an invited guest at someone else's home who went to great trouble and expense to prepare an entire Thanksgiving meal, I, too, spent 9 hours yesterday making an entire Thanksgiving meal -- free from my kids' allergens -- packed it up, drove 45 minutes -- carried it up 4 flights of steep stairs!! -- unpacked it, and served my kids. Mind you, they are 19.5 and 17, so not likely to put food in their mouths without checking the ingredients and the preparation so could probably find something to eat among the host's offerings, but I still went to all that trouble. They got to eat a safe, yummy Thanksgiving meal, and the host AND I got to relax. But, hey, please tag me when you see those kinds of statements posted here, because I have lots of factual reasons why someone with a legitimate food allergy would not want to be making those kinds of demands on his/her hosts.

The roasted butternut with brown sugar or maple syrup? Or just a smooth and decadently simple butternut squash puree? Because, I could seriously hurt the person who selfishly took the last serving of any of those. Yesterday, I personally made a quadruple batch of the roasted butternut with roasted caramelized red onions and cranberries. I've got about 3 servings left. I have started hiding it in the back of the fridge to keep it for myself.

well, shit.....I forgot about your household's food allergies when I made that initial post. I feel like a complete asshole now. you and Malarky are the only ones close enough to know the Bros. chain of stores I referenced. Lena, maybe.....not sure where she lived when she was in MA. but the butternut squash from the hot bar/cold prepped and packaged....yes. that stuff is like crack. I make arancini from whatever squash is left.

I make arancini from whatever squash is left. I know the chain. Used to shop there until Whole Checkbook and Stop and Shop became my closest stores. Is there one down by you now or do you go to one near work? How do the Bros. prepare their butternut? I'm really curious -- might need to steal the idea and adapt it for home use.
