[quote=Anonymous]List the dishes in your meal (whether you cooked or were a guest) and what you would keep/skip.

I'll go first. I was a guest and the meal was:

-homemade sourdough bread: KEEP
[i]-brussels sprout w/ balsamic: skip, meh, they did not add much to the meal [/i]
-roasted broccoli w/ lemon and chili flakes: KEEP
[i]-green beans, don't know how they were prepared b/c I did not try them: skip, do we really need a 3rd green vegetable?[/i]
-butternut squash with some sort of apple cider glaze: KEEP
-honeybaked ham: KEEP b/c one of my kids doesn't eat turkey but loves ham
-turkey: KEEP, not b/c I love it but b/c we need it for the gravy and I am all about the gravy, although ours was well-prepared and flavorful
-homemade cranberry sauce: KEEP
-stuffing: KEEP
-mashed potatoes: KEEP, obvi
-gravy: KEEP

Personally, I only care about the mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy, but I think the squash, broccoli, ham, cranberry sauce and bread rounded out our meal nicely for others.

Overall I felt like it was too many dishes for a small group of 7 (which includes one child who doesn't eat much and 2 80+ year olds who don't eat much) which also makes it harder to serve many of them warm.

Dessert was good: choice of pumpkin pie or pound cake with ice cream or homemade whipped cream.[/quote]
