THANK YOU!

Your thanksgiving is ridiculously classy. Was there a string quartet? A soprano? DID EVERYONE WEAR TWINSETS AND PEARLS?
I NEED YOUR STUFFED PORTABELLO MUSHROOM RECIPE NOW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Or just tell me which recipe book it's in; chances are my mom has it.
Oh no! That completely sucks.
We have branches of our family like that. For weddings, funerals, get togethers, etc. if person X is going then person Y cannot go and somehow my dad (the baby of the family who everyone adores) gets to be the mediator/yelled at by persons X, Y, Z and Q. And some of this drama is 40 years old. Like, being written out…
carrots and marshmallows? Is that....tasty?
My dad adores turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches, so he has a lot of those. But I was off at university, so I could only take a little back with me and my parents went up to their friends' cabin for New Years so most of the giant turkey went into the freezer. Which sucks, because defrosted 5-month old turkey isn't…
Ha! My dad has been trying to get my mom to switch to a turkey breast or a pre-fab turkey (boneless, stuffing inside, just toss it in the oven) for about 15 years but she refuses to. I suggested we get four quails and then everyone has their own little bird and can have individualized stuffing, but she nixed that too.
Oh...I think I see them...THEY'RE COMING FOR ME! THE GIANT JELLO MOLDS ARE COMING FOR ME!
I love sweet potatoes but I do not see the need to have them mixed with marshmallows. Usually we have them mashed and I eat them instead of the regular potatoes.
Good to know. I just was thinking it was so odd because I've never heard of an actual person (i.e. outside of fiction) having the green bean casserole/marshmallow sweet potato thing.
Casseroles are handy, but we usually have them as a not-for-holiday meal. We've never had big family dinners because our family is simply too big; my dad is the youngest of 10 and all his siblings had at least 2 kids (a full family gathering at this point would be over 100 people). So it was just the 4 of us with…
But...jello shouldn't be in a salad!
I think the dumplings may be perogies? But IDK. I'm Canadian and from these pictures, our traditions are QUITE different.
Apologies in advance, but I feel a need to say it:
I hope the bridesmaids didn't develop turkey-induced PTSD.
My brother tried to claw my eyes out when I was born. He also broke my arm, broke my collarbone and smashed me into a glass display case, all before the age of 5.
