So, it's a letdown to make fantastic and complicated side dishes for just me.
I will happily take any leftovers.
ETA: JZ, I'm way ahead of you. Literally.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Thrive to spite them
We're doing all new foods. I'm making a Cranberry Tangerine Conserve from epicurious. We're also making Stuffed Acorn Squash, Creamed Corn (from frozen), Baked Quail with Potatoes, Ham, Ambrosia, Green beans (it was going to be broccoli but green beans won out), Maple Glazed Carrots, Sweet Potato - PEcan Pie and Raspberry Chocolate Cheese Cake.
And maybe a fried turkey.
No dressing that I know of except the stuffing in the squash. We're trying to do different things this Thanskgiving since it's the first since my cousin died. Which of course it is since he died in June, but ... it's going to be hard. Good, but really hard I'm sure.
Peace to everyone who will be dealing with a lost loved one over the holidays.

Now if only my friend didn't hate nuts, and would let me make it with the gingersnap-pecan crust, instead of making me having a boring crust. Sigh.
How about making it with gingersnap-graham cracker crust?

yeah, I was contemplating a just gingersnap or graham cracker crust, but then I was afraid that might be too sweet, on it's own...anyone have thoughts on how to cut the sweetness (add savory), without adding nuts?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hmmmm, we have a bad trend here. Matilda seems to be drawing the line at common courtesy.
"I want more chips!"
"Can you say please?"
"I don't want to say 'please'!"
"It's nice to say things in a nice way and say 'Please' and 'Thank you'."
"I don't want to say 'Thank you'! Chips!"
I'm not sure where the disconnect is occurring. Is it that onerous to say 'please' and 'thank you'? Obviously not. But clearly it rouses the rebel in her.

askye, doing all new stuff sounds like a great idea. Speaking as someone whose mom died at Christmas, alcohol also helps. I hope it all goes well for you.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Crap, I'm an asshole. Cash, I'm sorry, I forgot to actually type out the sympathies for your sister and her nephew. That's so hard.

See, this is what I get for skipping and skimming. I need a job where I can spend all day on the Interwebs.
