I lean heavily vegetarian, which means that when I decided going home for Thanksgiving wasn’t going to be an option this year, I decided to forgo the turkey and gravy. Instead, my (coffee) table will be piled high with side dishes, including:

• Stuffing
• Mashed potatoes
• Sweet potato medallions (Mum & I won’t have to squabble over my desire to leave the skin on)
• Squash (possibly stuffed) or maybe pumpkin pasties
• Corn pudding
• Cranberry
• Carrots and peppers
• Broccoli or maybe green beans
• Salad
• Cheese and crackers
• Pie

I’m aiming for 2 servings of everything except the stuffing, the cranberry, and the pie. I’ll be very happy if those linger on for a few more days.

Wow. That’s a lot of cooking I need to do over the next 40 hours. I guess I’d better get moving early tomorrow.
