Re:
When my grandsons were in high school I brought them something like a taco bar but with chili mac as a base entree. They loved it. It’s always a hit but labor intensive sometimes.

Re: Sea_Gypsy.....
I do hope they bring food that is travel friendly. I’m sure they will. We really appreciated it last year when daughter brought dinner here for Christmas. You will enjoy whenever it is they bring because of their company.

We don't have thanksgiving .I suppose traditions differ around the globe. Once long ago country folk used to keep a cockerel for Christmas Dinner. Weeks before one would hear ones start crowing and all eventually joined in. A week or so before Christmas slowly all became silent. It did seem a bit sad.🌺😒

I have no idea what we are having. Son knows I don't do much cooking anymore, So...
I was informed that Son, Wife, two teens would be arriving from Oklahoma at 1:00 p.m. with dinner for eight, fully cooked by DIL and Granddaughter (for eight people--which includes Kansas City Sis, Son and Grandson). All I have to do is warm that which is supposed to be served hot. However this works out, it will be a lot of fun.

Hey, burritos work for me. Lol. I'm currently in the same gray area as you are. We had discussed having a taco bar. This year, Thanksgiving dinner will be at our oldest daughter's house. They bought a spiral ham. Our middle daughter suggested lasagna as the main dish. Our granddaughter asked why we don't have a turkey on the special day. Her other grandparents serve potato salad with their turkey, and we serve mashed potatoes or scalloped potatoes with the protein we serve for Thanksgiving. My mother makes prime rib and a turkey. I guess whatever works for the group wins. I'm just happy about the gathering.

I like the twists on Thanksgiving. I'll be over for sure no matter what.

Good Morning
Sea Gypsy, I loved your post. It made me smile at times, thinking about what everyone likes and doesn't like. I always make the traditional Thanksgiving meal, but my daughter-in-law adds lasagna. Laura's family is Italian, and she learned from her Grandma and Mom. They always served traditional food, then added lots of pasta. I have to say it is excellent. I, myself, do not know how to make lasagna. For dessert this year, we are going to have pumpkin pie with whipped cream and apple pie. All the boys seem to like apple pie best. I was going to make a green bean casserole, but my daughter told me she likes plain green beans, so that's what we will have. I do love the holidays. We do have a lot going on with the trees and the new windows being installed. I hope everything is done soon. I hope you have a good day. I'm sending many blessings for your husband.

I like the traditional turkey & dressing, but if I'm invited to son's house for Thanksgiving, anything he serves is just fine with me. I found out, years after my little birds had flown the nest, that none of them liked pumpkin pie, which I went to some trouble to make for them. I would have preferred apple pie or a slice of chocolate cake myself. We laugh about it now.

I agree with being together is the main entree so to speak! I.hope you have a marvelous Thsnksgiving. It is rough waiting on test results. Try to relax and stay positive, it's good for the brain. We often worry too much about what may or may not happen.
