Inspired by Janne

Mmmmmmm Thanksgiving! Janne posted her menu complete with all recipes! I'm not a recipe gal, but I can post my plan ... (I'm really not a plannin' gal, either, but sometimes I gotta do what I gotta do). Not much fancy or clever here, really. It's all the "recipe off the can" type stuff, LOL.

My parents are coming over here, and our 4 student friends from Sri Lanka. I've got a 19+ pound turkey, so that should be plenty. I'm getting sleeping just thinking about it ...

Something along the lines of Alton Brown's Brined Turkey ~ never brined a turkey before, I'm excited to try.

Stuffing ~ Stove Top. It's what says Stuffing to The Grand Lunar. And the kids.

Mashed Potatoes and gravy

Green Bean Casserole ~ yeah, the French Onion kind. But with cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom.

Fruit Salad ~ a lot of canned fruit, a little canned smooth cranberry jello stuff, and a little marshmallow creme. I'm winging it.

Cranberry "sauce" ~ technically canned cranberry sauce, the kind that's jelled all can-shaped. LOL!

Fresh Veggie Salad ~ compliments of Mom

White & Wheat Rolls ~ also compliments of Mom

Pumpkin Cheesecake ~ my own invention, although since inventing it I've seen it elsewhere, LOL. I made up my first one all by myself.

Chocolate Peanutbutter Marbled Fudge ~ ok, I've never actually made this before. We'll see what it actually turns out to be. I might have to change it's name if it doesn't work the way I plan, LOL.
