Thought I would resurrect this and see what the cooking plans are. JG, are you actually going for the fryer this year?? I'm hosting again this year, but more and more is being delegated out. My mom is doing all the green vegetables and my MIL is bringing pies and salad. My brother and SIL are doing the sweet potatoe pie with marshmallows and my other SIL is bringing cookies (it's really all we trust her with).

I'll be baking a cake for my MIL's birthday, and taking care of the turkey and all the goodies that go with it, as well as the mashed potatoes. For pre-dinner, Mr. Babe will make his delicious turkey pate`, and I picked up some nice frozen appetizers at Trader Joe's yesterday. In lieu of pumpkin pie, I also decided to try Trader Joe's pumpkin souffle.
