So, what are everyone's plans this year?? As the family has expanded over the years (not just weight-wise, but also in numbers), we're usually around 20-25. This year, we'll only be 12, though.

And, in honor of my brother, we're resurrecting the pasta dish. Usually we have to make both a turkey and a turkey breast to feed the masses. Since we're skipping the turkey breast this year, we'll have an oven open, so we're making baked ziti.

Last year we did a pasta station with three sauces, but only as an appetizer (if 3 pounds of pasta can be considered an appetizer). The Godfather was on, and we ate pasta and watched the movie. My brother said it was just like the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims!
