I just finished reading Kim's Big Quilting Adventure.  Kim was describing her thanksgiving dinner.  So here is mine:
Turkey--a must.  I do not stuff my turkey because of the whole food poisoning issue.  I do cook it with lemons, carrots, oranges, celery, etc in the cavity if I have them.
stuffing.  I am okay with Stove-top Stuffing, but I really like homemade.  I make it if I am the cook, but my mother-in-law makes Stove-top for us who refuse to eat stuffing with oysters--me!
mashed potatoes and gravy.  I use golden/yellow potatoes.
sweet potatoes--not the kind with the yucky marshmallow on top.  I have a recipe from Bon Appetit` that has a topping of brown sugar, pecans, butter and cornflakes.
cranberry sauce.  I make my own.  It is really good and so simple.  I will serve the canned kind.
green bean supreme.  Green beans, cream of mushroom soup and French's onions. 
rolls (I make my own of these too--see my earlier post for recipe).
Dessert.  I am not partial to pumpkin pie, but it is acceptable.  I like apple pie a lot!
Wine.  Pinot noir--no white wine for us!  We like red.  A merlot will do nicely also.
I LOVE THANKSGIVING DINNER!
