Thanksgiving menu

we've pretty much finalized our menu for this year:

breakfast
(while watching the big Thanksgiving parade in Detroit on TV - Michiganders ignore that "other" parade Wink Laughing )

blueberry bread
orange juice/milk


early afternoon snacks
while watching and laughing at the Lions in the Thanksgiving Day football game in Detroit on TV - this substitutes for lunch Smile

veggies and dip
fresh fruit (whatever looks good in the store on Tuesday Wink ), but I hope it will be clementines
tortilla chips and a sweet fruit salsa, a spicy hot salsa, and a quesa salsa
potato chips & French onion dip
a cracker & artisan cheese plate


dinner
10 pound turkey
stuffing
gravy
mashed potatoes with cheddar & garlic
salad
cranberry sauce
macaroni & cheese
cresent rolls
cornbread
biscuits
a vegetable side dish to be determined on what looks freshest at the store on Tuesday Wink


beverages
milk, eggnog, fruit juice, Michigan winter white wine, mead, Spanish sangria

I am sure we will drink hot chocolate, hot spiced apple cider, and hot tea throughout the day Smile



desserts
cherry mallow cake
cherry pie & cool whip
key lime pie
pink lemonaid pie
brownies
double decker chocolate & peanut butter fudge


I have already made a pink lemonaid pie as of last night, but it is already half gone, so probably none of it will be left by Thursday. Wink I might make a key lime pie ahead of time as well.
