Horrible Holiday Dishes!!!!

Nothing in Jello for me, thank you very much! And please, cook green beans Southern style- no canned soup in it!!!

Yesterday I roasted the small turkey I got on special- I always prepare a pre-Thanksgiving meal so that I have sandwich stuff and left-over dressing at home. Plus, I individually wrap and freeze white meat and dark in separate containers and make turkey broth for homeade winter soups.

Usually, I go to either my niece's place for Thanksgiving but she is dealing with health issues and my guess is that my sister and her son's will just go out to eat. So, no left-overs which is what I like the best. Don't have my plans yet. Not going to be a happy holiday season this year, really.

We nevr had any weird stuff for Thanksgiving really when I was a kid- the cranberry sauce and veggies were all traditional and Jello free. Didn't even have marshmellows on yams. We did have anti-pasto then my Grandma's homemade ravioli then the turkey and fixings. A real 5-6 course Italian spread. What a feast!!! And lots of food sent home with everyone.
