There will be 30 of us this year.  .   This sounds like a lot of work, but I am only responsible for the turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls, appetizers and mousse.

We will have brined, roasted turkey (Alton Brown recipe - done in 2 hours!)
Mashed potatoes
Stuffing
Gravy
Sweet potatoes
Green bean casserole
broccoli raisin salad
Spring greens with dried cranberries, almonds and madarin oranges with an oriental peanut salad dressing
home made whole wheat rolls
orange cranberry sauce
a variety of appetizers
pumpkin pie
pecan pie
sf/ff pumpkin mousse (or "mouse" and some of the young kids call it!)

I'm assuming that my eldest son will come by and we'll go to the cafeteria to eat and then to a movie.

It's just DH and I, no more dysfunctional family left! I bought a small Honey Baked ham and one of his venders gives us a smoked turkey every year. I'll fix mashed sweet potatoes with no added sugar, brocolli and wild rice cassarole, steamed carrots, corn on the cob, cornbread dressing and jellied cranberry sauce. I have some spiced apples for dessert. We decided no rolls this year, too hard to have just one! Some of the leftovers will go with DH as lunches. I'll seal single servings for lunches at home.

I traditionally cook the whole meal myself (for 8).   Usual turkey, dressing, smashed tater*****in pie, etc.  Then, I'm going to give the family what they really want.  I'm fixing a plate and taking it to the park and eat in the car.
