I'm making <i>Poulet au Porto: </i>Roast Chicken with Port Wine, Cream and Mushrooms some type of potato and something green. I was going to make an escargot dish for an appetizer but it also calls for cream. I might have to find another recipe. I haven't decided if I want to make a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, crepes or something else.

I'm going to see if I can upload the recipe for escargot. I think it might be too much cream. Tell me what you think. What are you peeps doing?

For Thanksgiving, we would always converge on Mom's house because, well, she's the best cook on the planet. But she's 87 now and has slowed down considerably.

A friend of mine is a chef at a higher-end restaurant here in town, and he said they're going to have a Thanksgiving buffet, a Thanksgiving menu, and a regular menu. It's in the neighborhood of $45 per person, and he's assured me we'll get some "leftovers" to take home with us.

Anything will beat last year. I had Covid and had two Hebrew National hot dogs for Thanksgiving dinner...

Turkey cooked in the roaster on the firebox and the goodies that go with it are always my fav. Maybe a few pies this year if I'm feeling energetic.

There may end up being a turkey shortage in America, so get them when you can between now and then or have a plan B.

I'm just planning to have a regular Thanksgiving dinner with all your basic food. Turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, Jell-O, and of course of pumpkin pie. (I don't like the crust on mine though.)

Can't stand wine. It's just spoiled grape juice to me.

But Champagne......DO NOT GET IN MY WAY!!! I love Brut Negro Champagne the best.
But can't drink alcohol anymore cause of my meds.

Since my granny died, I don't really care for holidays. Don't really do anything. Just some extra days off I get paid for, from work. Catch up on my sleep, get house chores all done.

If somebody asks me to do something, I usually will, unless I'm sick or it's bad weather.

I LOOOOVE turkey, dressing, and cranberry sauce though!!! Could eat that every day!!

I'm sorry about your grandma but I'll drink wine depending on what flavor it is. I'm more of a Margarita person though, and that's more of a summertime thing.

stuffing is the only thing I look forward to on Turkey day. Pour some gravy over it and I could eat it til I puke.....and then eat some more.

I'll eat it, but I don't crave it the way I do stuffing. That is my high holiday nosh: TDay, Xmas, and Easter are the only three days a year I have it so I have at it.
