I'm really excited about hosting Thanksgiving this year in our new house! Feels very grown up. Will's family begins arriving tomorrow, and I've already started cooking. Lela's stuffing is delicious but it's my first time making it so want to make sure I'm doing it right! Menu below:
Turkey- pretty standard, I'm going to try brining for the first time too!
Green Beans Casserole - I'm using the canned fried onions though. Why wouldn't I!?
Sweet Potatoes two ways: Sweet Potato Casserole and Brown Butter Sage. (I was forced into the casserole. Marshmallows. Ick.)
Louise's Kale Salad!
Lela's Stuffing! Involves slow cooked pork shoulder (either roasted or poached. I'm poaching), sourdough bread, olives, and potatoes. A lot of other ingredients, but those are the big ones. I'll post the recipe later.
For dessert, I'm making PWs Chocolate Sheet Cake! I'm not a pie person, so I told Will that he can help out in the pie department if he's jonesing for it.
I know Eli and Cris will be in Minneapolis and cooking Friday instead of Thursday. What's on the menu?
Beth, what's going in Dallas?
Louise, don't even bother telling us what's going on in Mexico. No one wants to hear it :)

SLEEP LATE, ENJOY SOME COFFEE IN THE BACKYARD, PLAY WITH FONZIE, ENJOY MY MOTHAEFFIN HOLIDAY, YO" i think i may have used those exact words when i responded.
