Can't believe I forgot one of the best parts! We also make roasted green beans and carrots, delicious with some extra gravy.

What is in the stuffed ham?Mcapps789 wrote:My family always does the traditional. However a local tradition,mainly from Southern MD, is stuffed ham and my father makes the best! Since I'm not hosting this year I'll probably be bringing a bottle of merlot and make Savannah cheesecake bars to add to the dessert table ?

In any case, the menu might look something like: rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted veggies, bread rolls, and a veggie tray. Dessert is TBD

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Sounds like a fun challenge! I've only been to Japan once but I LOVED it. If I'm ever back there during Thanksgiving, I'd probably just give up and stick to traditional Japanese foodkatiesquilts wrote:Since I moved, this will be my first time actually cooking a Thanksgiving feast in JAPAN! I've been looking everywhere for turkeys and pumpkin pie... I found turkeys at Costco, but there's no way they'll fit in my tiny microwave oven! Still no luck on the pumpkin pie front, and I can't even find canned pumpkin to make my own...

This is true...but I'm pretty sure I'll be following the Japanese tradition of KFC and cake on Christmas, so I want to do at least ONE holiday right!lucymn11 wrote:Sounds like a fun challenge!

I agree, let them live with us and learn from them. I am also grateful for my life today.one4hymn wrote:I usually go traditional for Thanksgiving, but I might switch it up next year. We will be making turkey, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, corn, vanilla and chocolate pie, pumpkin pie, and more! I love Thanksgiving because you get time off of work/school, you get to spend time with your family, and most importantly you get to eat! The only bad thing about Thanksgiving is that it reminds me of the early Americans and their forceful ways of getting the Native Americans to move. I think that we should have let them live with us and teach us more than just how to make corn. However, I am very thankful for my life today and I know it would not be so without the history that has brought us here thus far.

you're right this time a year is great for experimenting and trying new stuff. I just found the BLT pasta salad that looks good on delish facebook page. I don't like pasta salad normally but this looked so good
