My family usually goes out for Thanksgiving, but I am going to ask my mother to get some octopus and quail from Arthur Ave for after or before our big meal. I haven't had octous since June and I am really looking forward to it. I'm hoping to use the "visiting from college card" to get some awsome food.

I'm on dessert, my mom is the bird, stuffing and gravy, Nana's all about the sides and with good reason: best sweet potatoes ever. None of that awful marshmallow crap, just lotsa butter and brown sugar. I have to say though I absolutely loathe turkey. Not just my moms. Thanskgiving is the only day I even eat the stuff and even then it's only one slice. I do love the skin though.

I love the marshmallows and sweet potatoes.  Never understood why there is such a dislike.  Its sweet, for Christs sake! I love the idea of Thanksgiving, but it usually becomes a rush rush kind of meal and I get sick.  We usually eat the whole thing in a half hour. My wifes family does it right and they make KILLER turkey!  They soak the whole thing in a 5 gallon plastic pail with red wine for a week before they cook it.  Comes out awesome!

Try marinated the bird in chimichurri for a day or so. then Fire up the grill and slow-cook it for about 4 hours. Stuffing must be done on the side when grilling.last year we had a BBQ bird, and a traditional bird.Leftovers for all!!!

We eat chicken, not turkey. I'm not sure if i'll even eat chicken though. I usually can't get enough greens beans and asparagus cooked with butter and sliced almonds but we'll see this year.

I am not a big fan of meat and meat related foods so I usually horde everything and anything vegetable for myself and having tasted a-many that is one of my all time favorites. Plus it's fun to have smelly pee.

We have a pretty small family, but we still make alot of food.Turkey, stuffed artichokes, stuffed mushrooms, sausage/bacon stuffing, mashed rutabagas (that's just for me.  I swear they taste good), candied sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, brocolli and cheese (just for my brother).  And I really like the jellied cranberry shit.  That stuff is the bomb.  Me, and my sister do most of the cooking.  I'm so hungry now...

Not since last year's bloody turkey disaster. I think my mom's getting a
little too old to do the cooking anymore. She only cooked the bird for an
hour or something last year and it was raw in the middle! You should have
seen the look on my poor husband's face.

Thanksgiving is my least favorite meal of the year and I'd love to be able to miss it.  There's nothing to like about it. Every year I pass the plates right by me and have a small helping of boxed mac and cheese.  My friend's family goes out for sushi every Thanksgiving and I am really jealous of them not having to deal with turkey, potatoes, and all the rest of the miserable things served on this holiday.

Last Thanksgiving I mentioned to my family that we should go out for dinner this Thanksgiving.  It's a lot of work (I usually bake all of the desserts), too many people don't like Turkey, and there's no afternoon spent cleaning up. My parents are pretty traditional, so I didn't think they'd go for it but they did!  So, we're all going out to eat next Thanksgiving. YAY!  I can drink on Wednesday and sleep in on Thanksgiving.

This year my sister and mother are having a "traditional" thanksgiving dinner with creamed onions and burssel sprouts. Really I could care less so long as theres turkey and lots of it. "It's Still Rocktober" ~ Ron Bennington

This year myself and three friends are going to the Lions game while our ladies cook dinner.  After a whole day of drinking, we eat to borderline sickness. All the homemade goods.  We then watch some of the Dallas game, eventually pass out.  The girls clean up and take us to our respective homes.  Every year it is such a stressful holiday.  Now let's all give thanks.
