OMG, I never thought to make TWO pumpkin pies. We always seem to have just enough pumpkin pie, with none for leftovers (whcih is the best part of Thanksgiving), and I would always have half the 29-ounce can of puree left to to refrigerate or freeze for later. This year I'll make two pumpkin pies! Thanks for the idea! |

I'm glad my typo provided a flash of genius for you. You can't go wrong with double pie. |

LOL. Typo? Seriously? Well, that's serendipity for me. |

I am the Georgia OP with the fried turkey... wish I could give you some pointers but my DH and BIL and FIL handle that business- I stay in the kitchen with MIL and SIL and do the rest! It does seem to involve a deep fryer on the back porch and I know that you MUST make sure your turkey is 100% defrosted before you put it in because if it's still frozen at all, it will basically explode in the fryer. |

Thanks for replying. I guess I'll have to research this for NEXT year. That's got to be a huge deep-fryer! |

So so sad that it is my MIL's year for thanksgiving. Our menu:
turkey (dry) stuffing (boxed) sweet potato casserole (wonderful-provided by an aunt) salad (bleh) split pea soup (bleh-from dry mix) sauer kraut (DH's grandma) cranberry sauce (homemade-me) apple pie (homemade-me) pecan pie (homemade-me) Can't wait until next year... |

forgot chopped liver from DH's grandma. She's a German Jew, hence the sauer kraut and chopped liver. |

No, I think my MIL's Thanksgiving menu is the saddest. She doesn't like anyone to bring contributions of food to liven up this meal:
turkey - roasted too long wild-rice-and-chestnut stuffing - wild rice? gravy - thickenedwith cornstarch, fat-free boiled, cubed potatoes - no butter, fat-free peas - from frozen, no butter, fat-free celery sticks - raw, fat-free carrot sticks - raw, fat-free cranberry sauce - jellied, from the can apple pie - store-bought, soggy crust pumpkin pie - store-bought, soggy crust And nothing that she makes has enough salt in it. |
