We are apparently going to my aunts (?) - late breaking change.
Apps: crudités and cheese plate. Entree: Roast turkey breast, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, green beans with... something TBD. Bread.
Chicken nuggets for the girls.
Pie with ice cream.
My mother insists that this is simplified because my uncle just had surgery. The only difference vs. normal is turkey breasts vs a whole turkey. Doesn't seem particularly simple to me but okey dokey.

Chicken nuggets for the girls. Really? They won't eat turkey? I have a younger brother who was a picky eater (he still is at age 61) but even he eats turkey.

The little one might eat turkey, but the older one won't. She's sworn to only eat bread and butter for thanksgiving. She was ill last year and has a lot of food/control issues out of that.

"Really? They won't eat turkey? I have a younger brother who was a picky eater (he still is at age 61) but even he eats turkey. "
I haven't eaten a chicken nugget in... well, I can't remember when because it's been at least 20 years. They're weird abominations of scrap meat and since fried food is so bad for you, if I'm going to occasionally indulge in fried food I save that for the really good stuff like french fries and onion rings.
That being said, if I were forced to choose between a chicken nugget and turkey, I'd eat the nugget in a heartbeat. Has nothing to do with being a picky eater. I eat a huge range of things. Yesterday I made homemade Tteok bokki with authentic ingredients including kelp and Korean dried anchovies that I had to disembowel by hand. Today I'm making an Indian type yogurt marinated chicken with roasted cauliflower and broccoli. I love game meats including elk and duck. I like escargot. Heck, one time my friend told me the awesome homemade tamale I just ate included dog and I decided if that was true that dog is yummy. I am not picky. Turkey is gross.
Turkey and green peppers both have a very strange and very strong undertaste that screams "poison"! Blech.

She was ill last year and has a lot of food/control issues out of that. Ah- that sounds complicated. Sometimes it just seems to be a matter of body chemistry, as milee's post indicates; something everyone else loves just tastes bad to you. I have a 3-year old granddaughter who, it turns out, is fond of crab legs. I plan to encourage her to pursue a lucrative career.

Thanksgiving really is a terrible meal. Everything is beige or brown, and mushy. Traditionally, there is nothing really fresh and no varieties of texture. We go to my BIL for lunch. He makes everything in the days leading up to the day and reheats it all that day. Therefore the entire meals tastes like leftovers. They make the green bean casserole soaked in cream of barf soup or whatever. My family prefers fresher foods, but still works within the boundaries of tradition. Much better than leftover mush, but still a lot of brownish mounds on the plate. Upside, she and her daughter are amazing bakers and their desserts are always awesome. I am taking carrots and wine to my sister's. I make a steamed carrot dish that has fresh herbs, cumin and lemon. I leave the carrots pretty crunchy. It is a bright dish. I have to have fresh cranberry sauce and my great-grandfather's celery and green onion salad every year or it just isn't Thanksgiving. Everything else is beige mush, but quite yummy with those on the side I always have to make my own Thanksgiving if we go somewhere sides aren't welcome.

My other sister-in-law has to have surgery tomorrow, so Thanksgiving is now being postponed to Saturday, and we may end up bringing all the food over to her house if she is up to it. I guess my plan for Thursday is Chinese takeout, since DH is insistent that he doesn't want two sets of turkey leftovers, from Thursday and Saturday.

I'm in charge of the red velvet cheesecake, green bean casserole & homemade rolls. And providing the space to have it in. My local sister dumped her DH this fall and her house was where we usually went. We could use Mom's much larger space but she's a hoarder.

I'll start another thread if desired, but I have a general question. What do people do when their Thanksgiving plans fall through? Have you ever asked someone if you could come celebrate Thanksgiving with them? In recent past years, I hung out with one of my very good friends at one of her nephew's homes where part of the family gathers for Thanksgiving. Before Thanksgiving last year I found out my friend had a stroke and hadn't been to church in months. My church friends told me they thought the stroke had affected her speech, her looks (facial), or something like that. She was living with her son on the NJ/PA border now versus with her daughter nearish to Newark airport. I reached out to the son and he says she is getting better, but emphasized she was without oxygen for 6 hours. Not sure what that means on a brain level, but I am sure it means she is not fully her old self. I really don't care, but don't want to try to see her if she or her son don't want me to. She is starting to leave the house though with his wife, which is something. My question to you is, is it OK to reach out to the nephew and see if I can pop in for Thanksgiving dinner or for the after dinner just to hang out and say Hi? I've been going there for awhile, not sure how long. At least 10 years, maybe 15? The nephew is close to our church and I have driven there enough I can do so with my partially functioning brain. I've been a the son's home several times. The last time was for Easter? Fabulous spread but a long drive back and forth for me. No desire to do that this Thursday. Advice? Ideas? I will be working, or attempting to, from 8 to Noon or possibly 8 to 1 that day. No. The woman had a stroke. It doesn't sound like you and the nephew were friends, but rather you came as the aunt's friend and guest. He was very clear that his aunt is not herself. He may even be telling you that she would have no idea who you are. You said you reached out, but it doesn't sound like he invited you to even come visit in general, much less for their family Thanksgiving. Why not start your own tradition? I know you are short of money, but bake a cake or something. If you use a mix, a box of confectioner's sugar, and some butter, that's a couple of $$$. Then invite someone you know who also has nowhere to go for Thanksgiving to come over for coffee and cake. Invite two or three somebodies. If someone asks if they can bring something, say, "Sure. Another dessert, please!" It will be fun and much better than wondering if you are really wanted at your friend's family's Thanksgiving.

Since she seemed to come as her friend's guest, I don't think it is appropriate to invite herself to Thanksgiving dinner, however, I see nothing wrong with calling the nephew to ask if she can stop by to say hello to her friend. Emphasize that seeing her friend is a Thanksgiving tradition, and she hasn't seen her since the stroke and just want to stop in and say hello. I'd make it a point that you don't expect to be entertained, you don't want to be a burden, you just want to spend some time with your friend. It is perfectly all right for her nephew to say 'no'. You're not looking for an invite for Thanksgiving dinner, you just want to see your friend. That's pretty harmless. I do think if the nephew wanted to invite you to dinner, Opti, he would have already reached out by now.

Opti should truly avoid putting them in such an awkward position. If they wanted to invite her, they would have already. Why not visit your friend on Sunday when you are off?

question - I was just asked to pick up olives and small pickles for a platter, since I offered to contribute where my parents/sis are heading. do I need anything else? I feel like there were some other things on those sorts of platters. TIA

I feel like there were some other things on those sorts of platters. TIA I googled. It can be as simple as you like (olives and pickles) or as elaborate (celery sticks, tomatoes, etc.) Google has images. I'd bring the platter, too, although I'd prep it there. One less thing for the host/hostess have to dig out.

oh yah, absolutely. I wouldn't be picking up the stuff until dinner break tomorrow night (in the hopes that it isn't quite so crazy.... in fact, I may actually go to Target instead of a grocery store.
thanks... not a fan of either olives OR pickles, so I didn't know where to start. the celery and that sort of thing is already accounted for, on a crudite tray with some sort of dip. and actually, as I type out this post, I remembered that I want to pick up snap peas. my sis is bringing stuff for me to make my spinach and artichoke dip for the guys while dinner is being cooked. I love dipping peas into it.

I returned to my original menu since I forgot to make a reservation for dinner. DH had to go to 4 different stores to find Pepperidge Farm bread for the stuffing and I forgot to ask him to buy apples for the pie.

I have to have fresh cranberry sauce and my great-grandfather's celery and green onion salad every year or it just isn't Thanksgiving. Everything else is beige mush, but quite yummy with those on the side I always have to make my own Thanksgiving if we go somewhere sides aren't welcome. family secret? share some more info? I find it intriguing cause that sounds like dressing to me. It's nothing fancy. About equal parts diced green onions and celery (dice as small as the onion width) mix with mayo, sour cream and salt to taste, serve chilled. People either love it or politely hate it

Thanksgiving dinner is the one time that I allow my DH's southern eating style to dictate our menu, which involves use of several "prepared ingredients" to be used. So we have turkey and cornbread dressing. For the dressing, it is mostly homemade, but he insists on making it with canned chicken broth instead of homemade. For "gravy" it is a combination of canned chicken broth, canned cream of chicken soup and canned cream of mushroom soup. I do use the gravy on my food, despite my aversion to any "cream of" canned soups. He also has to have "store bought" dinner rolls.
I do make homemade mashed potatoes and insist on vegetables. So I will make Spicy Sauteed Green beans (no casserole here) and roasted squash. Last time I made roasted acorn squash DH actually enjoyed it (to everyone's surprise).
I will make some green jello salad (another thing from his family), and homemade cheesecake and apple pie. DH tried to stick another dessert on the menu, but with 6 people for dinner, we need to limit the amount of desserts to limit the leftovers.

People either love it or politely hate it That may be one of those recipes that sounds really gross, but tastes really good! You definitely have to like celery and green onions! I'm not usually a mayo fan but there are a few recipes where I find it necessary and this is one. I've tried to go heavier on the sour cream and it just doesn't work as well.

Since we are moving in 3 weeks, my plan was to keep things really low key.
Well what do you know. Both my kids became super unhappy about "no thanksgiving". So here I am prepping up for tomorrow. Still keeping things simple though - cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, chicken pot pie. Bought cherry & white chocolate povitica from Costco for dessert, will serve it with cherry cordial ice cream.

I'm in charge of the red velvet cheesecake, green bean casserole & homemade rolls. And providing the space to have it in. My local sister dumped her DH this fall and her house was where we usually went. We could use Mom's much larger space but she's a hoarder. I just added an easy dinner rolls recipe to the Breads board if you need one. Thanks, I will probably try it at some point, but I am required to make "Aunt M" rolls now. I did them at Easter and everyone was all happy and said they were just like hers. And they also want enough to take some home. Good thing it's already a big recipe and that I love my sisters.
