What I like to bring to functions is a camera. Do you have an over- abundance of photographers? I'm really good at napkins and paper plates, too.

But, here's the problem: I don't know where you live.

Hi photoglady,
I've sent you a PM. Please let me know if you cannot get to it.

Hey, I won't know till the last minute if I can come and bring 2 other people. I trust Larry, that you will welcome us all as you would anyone who wants to come. If I can come I'll bring the oyster stuffing and more.

The oyster stuffing is all we're lacking right now, so let's keep our fingers crossed that Kitty can make it.

Exciting News.... just heard in addition to pumpkin pie, pecan pie, vanilla ice cream, we're also going to have CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES! So many people are making so many good things, I don't know how I'm going to eat it all. Guess I better go for a long walk Thursday morning.

THANKSGIVING WEATHER ALERT
Although it's going to be a beautiful sunny day with no rain on Thanksgiving Day in the Villages, the temperature is another matter. The posted high is 60 degrees and as the sun goes down it will become much colder. I was planning on using the lanai for some to use at dinner. It may be too chilly for that. There's more than enough room inside for everyone (we have 16 now coming). Does anyone have 4-6 folding chairs we could use inside? That would be a big help and much appreciated. Thanks, Larry

Kitty. Follow the directions on Stove top regular chicken or turkey. Get the little can(s) of refrigerated oysters at Publix fish area and add one small can for every box of stuffing. I don't drain them. Two boxes should cover the oyster dressing crowd.

Sometimes I cook a few chicken parts (dark meat is tastier..three or four thighs) and debone them and add a little chicken meat. Always I add a little sautéed in a tablespoon or so of butter.. until soft and transparent, onion and celery...about a cup combined to each box. You can put it together a day ahead and bake for about a half an hour at 350 or until hot just before serving.

You probably already can make it far better than I do.



EVERYTIME I SEE THE NAME OF THIS THREAD it makes me so happy that a bunch of you are getting together to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Hugs and love to all of you.

I have some chairs, think I've got 3. I am happy at you for being my very dear and close friend.
And you so stepped up to be the first man to host a party. Larry-Rocks.
