Thanksgiving Post...

I was over at crazymama's blog and I loved her Thanksgiving Survey...feel free to play along. Let me know if you did!

how do you do thanksgiving dinner?
Well, this year will be different but we usually eat between 2 or 3 at one of our parents' homes.

where do you go for thanksgiving? stay home? in-laws? travel?
We alternate between my dad's house and my mom's house (Allan's parents aren't into most holidays). But my mom has moved so for the past couple of years we have spent it at my dads home in northern Utah. This year we are having it at our house with my sister and my 2 nieces because Caleb has a soccer tournament on Friday and Saturday.

if you bring something what do you bring?
Whatever I'm told to bring!

what "makes" thanksgiving dinner for you? (if it's missing it's just not the same. )
Oh everything but I really have to have Cranberry Jello Salad and sweet potatoes and jellied cranberry sauce, YUMMY!

what grosses you out?
Allan eats the turkey heart


Gravy preference? brown? turkey? Homemade?
Homemade gravy is my favorite but Allan prefers that brown gravy crap that comes in a package!

Mashed Potatoes? from scratch? or instant?
Only homemade for me!

do you actually eat Yams?
Love them

what about cranberries?
Love the jellied ones

Pie? what is a "must have" at every Thanksgiving dessert table?
I hate pie but my hubby has to have pumpkin pie or he would die

Pies? from scratch? or store bought?
I buy them 'cause I'm not gonna make something that I don't eat, LOL

Whipped cream? from scratch ? cool whip? or from a can?
I buy either a can or cool whip.

MMMM....now doesn't this just make you want Thanksgiving to come faster?

So here we go with your thanksgiving survey

We usually do Thanksgiving just the 5 of us. Mike does all the cooking. But, This year I am going to my friends house.

I will bring anything the hostess needs.

Turkey and homemade gravy make the day for me. I usually pick at the bird as Mike is carving it.

The uncooked bird grosses me out. I love it that Mike wants to cook it.

Only homemade mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't eat yams or cranberries but I might try the cranberries again this year.

I like un-traditional chocolate cream pie (my Mom always made one) but, I do like pumpkin too. I have both made pies and bought pies (from Costco) for the holiday.

i just read my above survey it reads as if I am leaving my family for the holiday. We are all going as a family I think it will be nice to not be alone. My family lives too far away. If you are a friend of mine you know why we don't spend it with Mike's family
