Thanksgiving-are you cooking?

Question

if so what are you having?

Answer 1

We are in the middle of moving into our first home..I did not want to cook..but have to!! I wll be making a bone-in turkey breast,stuffing,candied sweet potatoes (they are wicked good!) corn on the cob and cranberry sauce. My candied sweet potatoes are as follows: preheat oven to 375, peel 4 large sweet potatoes, cut into quarters, and put into a medium baking dish in a single layer. Whisk 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice, 1/2 cup of dark-grade maple syrup, 1 1/2 tsp. of powdered ginger, and salt to taste together in a small bowl until smooth, then pour over sweet potatoes. Scatter 4 tbsp butter cut into small pieces, over potatoes, transfer to oven and bake, basting occasionally w/ syrup in dish, until soft and golden, 1- 1 1/2 hours. Not really what you asked..but I just had to share this recipe!!!

Answer 2

yes & no. Thanksgiving day we are going to a steak & rib restuarant & a "Happy Feet" movie. Saturday after Tennessee football game we are have traditional turkey dinner but I guess I am not cooking then either as I ordered it as a take meal. Take out for 14 from Boston Market. We are going to daughter's house & with 3 children she does not need the work of cooking. My other daughter & her family are coming to with twin 14 month olds.
Besides with a Dollywood Amusement Park trip after morning shopping who has time to cook. haha!

We have gone to the all you can eat buffet place for several years now. It's easier and there is no cleanup.
