Answer 2

For Thanksgiving day my wife and I go to my sisters house for a traditional dinner. We all bring something and she cooks the bird. The following Sunday he family and our children get together and I roast a 20 -25 lb top round roast and we all pig out. Turkey is easy just follow the directions on the package. Don't stuff it use stove top with a little Turkey fat for flavor, canned cranberries Mashed potatoes.Gravy is easier yet. let the drippings from the Turkey cool a bit skim off fat. melt butter in a fry pan mix flour and brown it . mix the flour and butter in the drippings until it is thick if it gets to thick add water. bake squash, boil some fresh gbeans.

Answer 3

For a good old southern meal: Turkey and dressing (Stove Top in the box), turkey gravy in a package or jar, candied sweet potatoes, potatoe salad, collard greens (seasoned southern greens in the can are good), macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce and rolls. Have everyone bring a dish or go to a restaurant and see if you can buy it. If you want to make everything fresh, go to the web for recipes. Start in plenty of time.
