As usual, everyone will make huge amounts of food and around an hour and a half hour at the end of the party will go in divvying up all food in tupperware containers for every household. Then we all will vow to pare down the food for next thanksgiving. Then, the same thing repeats. Once upon a time, the ultra-smart people would nap during the whole party, and then go for Christmas deals at midnight. Thank goodness that madness is mostly over.

I’m cooking for just our small immediate family this year, we’re all vegetarian and one kid doesn’t like any of the Thanksgiving foods except for rolls and cranberry sauce, so it’s a small menu.

Ummmm ... this sounds delicious. Can you post the recipe?
