Are you us?
We are having pumpkin pies instead of the sweet potato pie, and apple pie too (because 3 desserts are just, well, necessary). And chocolate cake. Because if 3 is necessary, 4 is better. And roasted parsnips and carrots, because I love them. |

We're going to my in-laws' this year. My MIL doesn't cook American food, and my SIL is in poor health, so dinner will be ordered. It will just be okay, but it will be worth it to spend time with them - we haven't seen them since last Christmas.
The next weekend, we're having my sister over for a little Thanksgiving feast. Turkey (a small one) Cornbread dressing Biscuits and gravy Mashed sweet potatoes Homemade cranberry sauce A jello salad (either my Midwestern grandmother's pineapple/carrots/lemon jello or my Southern grandmother's cherries/black cherry jello) Maybe oyster dressing, if I'm feeling ambitious A green vegetable of some sort Pumpkin pie Pecan pie Chess pie Maybe an apple pie Yes, I'm considering making 4 pies for 6 people. |

Why not? I usually make 4 pies for four people. This year it's just three of us (one is away), but I will still make 4 pies. 4 seems the right number when it comes to pies. |

DH and I are both from the South - but this year it is just us (and DD - age 3). I don't like turkey and he can take it or leave it - so we decided to do something completely different this year.
Louisiana gumbo Cornbread Pumpkin Pie |

I am this lady. It just takes prep work ahead of time and EVERYONE does something. Even the kids. They set the table and wash fruit. But, we always have lots of leftovers and it saves us cooking after shopping on Black FRIDAY!!!! |
