This has nothing to do with anything, but I need some help.

So here is the Thanksgiving Menu so far – subject to change. I am so looking forward to this Thanksgiving.

Appetizers:
Fresh Salsa with chips
Hand rolled taquitos
Veggies with crumbled bleu cheese dip
Fresh prawns with cocktail sauce
Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Bruschetta
Fresh Spinach dip with Sourdough and Pumpernickel bread chunks
Something else....not sure what. LOTS of people will be here...

Main Menu
Turkey (not sure what I am doing for the turkey - suggestions please!)
additional Turkey Breast
Stuffing (need suggestions - no oyster though since I am allergic to shellfish)
Cranberry Sauce
Sauteed Garlic Spinach
Corn
Caramelized Brussel Sprouts (I call them “People Heads”…lol)
Spinach Salad with feta, bacon and cranberries with vinaigrette
Rolls – not sure what kind yet
Fresh Smashed Potatoes (skin on with garlic and parsley)
Baked (hideously sweet) Sweet Potatoes (my daughter’s favorite)
Dessert
I may make a bacon/apple/cheddar pie or pumpkin pie, but my sister-in-law is really in charge of dessert. This dinner is going to cost me a fortune…lol
Drinks – Brother in law is bringing the wine – he will only bring enough for him, so that’s good. I have seen that guy drink seriously – TWO of those big bottles of Cab in a sitting. All the while telling everyone he does not have a drinking problem. I will stock up on my V8 Spicy Veggie drink, seltzer/Perrier and Cranberry. Juice for the kids.

Anyone have any other suggestions??

Phil Collins sent his wife a fax telling her their marriage was over..... a tad insensitive I think :H

He is going to call so I will give him a hint on the phone, would be awful if he orgainised dinner and I have to sit across from him wondering when to say it

Re your healthy eating, you need to get to the source of "why" you dont like it. Obviously there are somethings we dont like but really we are made to like nutritious food so its propbably something in your thinking and you are the greatest example of how we can change how we think....

Thats a VERY good point Chilly....I don't know WHY I don't like it....but I was NEVER given veg as a child plus my Mother was a very plain eater, meat and potatoes, thats it...maybe it stems from there...

its bound to be more mental than physical and will have started when you were a kid.
Just try introducing them more and more with things you do like.

Like every teenager I loved junk food but now I just couldnt put them in my body it would make me feel so unpure :H Im lucky cause I DO love veg and find meat disgustingly bland and boring but that wasnt always the case. You can turn this around for sure...
