http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564 Since the big feed is in just a couple of days, what's the one food you are already thinking about? The thing you don't seem to get any time except when a holiday rolls around? In my case, it would be my uber-nummy potatoes au gratin. They just take too long to make for most of the year, but as long as I'm going to be standing in the kitchen for most of the day anyway, there's no time like now to get them on the table.

How about you? en-us I found an awesome recipe for dressing in last year's Sunset magazine. Even my hubby likes it, &amp; he's no fan of stuffing. I like it because it uses leeks &amp; shallots instead of the usual Maripois saute, &amp; it also calls for gorgonzola cheese. I love any &amp; all kinds of cheese! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165205 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165205 I found an awesome recipe for dressing in last year's Sunset magazine.

It's not much of a trick- they just always try to get someone to have them at the same time.&nbsp; It's practically a Thanksgiving tradition around our house.&nbsp; A sour, tart fruit with milk... it tastes absolutely awful!&nbsp; My husband's on to them, so they're trying to figure out a way to sneak it.&nbsp; Evil parents-in-law ;) http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165262 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165262 It's not much of a trick- they just always try to get someone to have them at the same time.&nbsp; It's practically a Thanksgiving tradition around our house.&nbsp; A sour, tart fruit with milk... it tastes absolutely awful!&nbsp; My husband's on to them, so they're trying to figure out a way to sneak it.&nbsp; Evil parents-in-law ;) Green pistachio jello salad.

This is the first time in 4 years that I get to spend Thanksgiving with my parents, so I guess that is what I am looking forward too.  The last time I saw my parents on Thanksgiving, my mom was in the hospital and we all thought she wasn't going to make it.  But her stubborn self did, and here we are finally together again!! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165271 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/weebles/17564/#c_165271 This is the first time in 4 years that I get to spend Thanksgiving with my parents, so I guess that is what I am looking forward too.  The last time I saw my parents on Thanksgiving, my mom was in the hospital and we all thought she wasn't going to make it.  But her stubborn self did, and here we are finally together again!!
