you mean to say that no one here cooks a thanksgiving/holiday meal from scratch to include the roasted turkey and gravy from the drippings, homemade herbed stuffing, mashed white potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, cheese cauliflower, geen beans almondine, butternut squash, a cranberry/walnut jello salad and creamed white onions?

mercy! i cook those dinners for just the two of us three times a year [easter we switch to lamb or ham with the same sides xcept for stuffing]. learning to trim the recipes from 15 to 2 took quite a while - but the lefovers are great! and i am glad that we have a great orchard nearby where we can buy the traditional pies for dessert!
