I'm sorry, I forgot the Sweet Potato Pie (I did not know that Pumpkin Pie existed until I was a grown up - I've literally never been to a black person's house who offered a piece of pumpkin pie )

Trying Alton Brown's turkey brining strategy of days in a cooler of brine and not stuffing the turkey this year. Sacriligious in our family, but let's see how it goes...

Mostly the usuals, which in our family includes a sweet potato and apple dish, scalloped oysters, and a dessert called a Funny Cake that is Dlish!

The usual suspects - turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, green beans, potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, and rice with pigeon peas (my husband is Puerto Rican). It's a lot of carbs, but it's just one day.

Plus two pies and turkey cookies.
