its not thanksgiving without MAC AND CHEESE. If you have cornbread, you don't need corn on the cob, replace the corn with mac and cheese, and NOW you have thanksgiving.

and instead of pumpkin pie all you can eat taco an fajitas! you are right mac and cheese all the way.
TUNA SALAD!?!?! that is wrong for soooooooo many reasons.... 1. you are replacing a starch with another meat. 2. tuna salad is for lunch at work, not a thanksgiving feast. 3. tuna salad (which i love, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the meal), in the same stomach with turkey, and beans and all the rest of it, will create a nauseous mess in the colon. mac and cheese will nicely gum everything together in the colon to produce.....oh well no need to go any further on that. 4. your inlaws will look at you funny. 5. if you must have fish, serve something elegant like oysters in the stuffing or a stuffed salmon or or shimp coctail or crabmeat in the deviled eggs, which leads to.... 6 if you have deviled eggs, tuna salad has most of the same ingredients so its redundant. 7. if you must have some kind of salad, make it a salad of spring greens and heirloom tomatoes or a waldorf salad of apples, grapes and walnuts that will go with the turkey or even bean salad, but in the name of god, not tuna salad on thanksgiving table! have a happy thanksgiving...with mac and cheese!

pumpkin pie is a pie that's made of pumpkin that has a cinnamony taste and is often served with whipped cream. it's really good!
. Pumpkin pie is good, but it's not all that great (pecan pie is much better). More tradition than anything else. How the tradition started, I don't know. Halloween leftovers?
Pumpkin pie is soooo much better than pecan! It's basically a sweet starchy-vegetable pudding, and takes the addition of fat and spices beautifully. The version above is dangerously excellent. ;)
yeah but whats kool about pecan pie, the pecans rise from the bottom.

your not supposed to but the pecans on the bottom, they go on top.
Pumpkin pie is great! But I have to go with Nacho on this one, Pecan Pie is greater!
. You've obviously never had one of my Grandmother's pecan pies. ;)

I never had pecan pie. The first kind I try will be your grandmother's. XD
If you are decent at baking, try this: One of the best pecan pies you will ever have....

and you sir, have obviously not had one of my grandmother's pumpkin pies ;)
Psst, Nacho....I listed the recipe for a great Pecan pie above (mg0930mg post) so here is one of the best Pumpkin Pie recipes I have ever had... just to keep things even ;-)
. Harumph! I just finished a big piece of a pecan pie that a friend made. Nectar from the breast of Aphrodite (with pecans).
Let's just say I love them both.....which is what I was trying to say if you dislike one, over another, you miss out on half the fun LOL

Just to add my two cents worth, this series inspired me to upload my turkey stuffing recipe as an Instructable last night. It's a PDF file.
Sigh.....I can't eat corn on the cob anymore (not without cutting it off the cob first, as my four front uppers will come out or break), Stuffing is too high in carbs, and many times also in salt, pumpkin pie I can have a small sliver of, gravey....absolutely not...., and turkey......ummmm turkey :-) as long as I don't get too much of the dark meat....*sigh*

you have my condolences, because thanksgiving is like... one of my favorite holidays...
It is mine still, with restrictions *sigh* I have to try to fill up on veggies so I don't gain anymore weight....I don't need to be back in the hospital for another bypass...
Send me a check with your signature on it, and I will transfer it to the shirt LOL Just KIDDING :-)

ha ha another item to put into my collection of random knowledge...
Not in Canada it isn't LOL pssst, it's Oct 13th this year ;-)
Yep, they do in Oct. I know of this by virtue of some of the more informative calendars I use :-)
Reminds me I need to head over to a local farm and see if they have any pumpkins left for pie. Your dinner selection looks delicious, but needs a gravy recipe.
