Well I can tell you that I was extremely disappointment yesterday when the family member in charge of T-Day dinner did not have a pumpkin pie nor did they make mashed potatoes.
I mean WTF!!! Before people chime in - We initially were going to have it at our house but family member said they wanted it at theirs. We brought an apple pie, cranberries, yams and a salad. I WANT MY PUMPKIN PIE DAMMIT

We got done and someone asked about deviled eggs. They really were not missed as we had plenty of food.

I always make super cheesy au gratin potatoes. I forgot to make them this year (but made several other dishes) and got by butt chewed out by all my relatives for not making them. As a matter of fact, no one brought any potato dishes this year

No gravy!?!
 "Stone him!!!" But seriously, I'm sure it was a wonderful meal. Besides, the meal is just an excuse for a family to get together and enjoy each other's company. I'll bet next year you remember the dumplings and gravy.

Before I was married I traveled to my girlfriends ( now wife )in KCMO. I arrived late the nigh before. She had to work so I was making a traditional Thanksgiving Supper. This was before everything stayed open.
Ever try to make a good meal out of what you could get off a shelf at a 365/24/7 stop and rob. I had everything covered with a few minor substitutions. Turkey = deviled ham sculpted into a turkey shape. (hint it takes a bunch of those little can to get a turkey the size of an anemic chicken) Cranberry sauce = jello with crazins dressing= (better we don't talk about that) She later said it was in the top 10 reasons she married me
I thought how fucking sad

I've eaten, and for the last several years made, basically the same meal for Thanksgiving for the last 47 years. I learned to make Grandma's meal, when she was still with us, because I wanted to carry on this spectacular meal. I've done a pretty good job of it every year I've made it. Turkey, sage dressing, and dumplings/gravy. Made the turkey. Wife did a great job on the dressing and some broccoli casserole and a couple pecan pies. Went to my mom's and lay everything out. I'm carving the turkey, sampling as I go and it dawns on me that I'd completely forgotten to make the dumplings and gravy. I was in disbelief. How in the hell could I have forgotten one of my most favorite and integral parts of this perfectly matched trio. The only thing worse would have been to forget the turkey.

Fluffy or flat dumplings? It's basically the recipe on the side of the Bisquick box. Rolled flat about 1/4" thick. Cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Dumped into boiling chicken stock. Add a can of cream of chicken soup. Sounds simple and not special but they are delicious particularly when poured over turkey and sage dressing. |

No Gravy?.....I still can't get over this..... No Gravy? I know, right? It's probably my most egregious gastronomic error, ever. I did somewhat make up for it this morning with an awesome bacon gravy, cheesy garlic grits, eggs over medium and scratch biscuits for breakfast.

I went to my brothers, it was a fantastic meal but we had a couple small hiccups.
We were halfway through dinner when my bro's gf realized they never made the croissant rolls. We also forgot the corn in the fridge. Not missed that much at all. My brother made a fantastic bird, same as last year juicy as hell. A great job. I make the gravy for him. Last year was outstanding gravy with nice brown drippings. This year the drippings didn't have as much as good brown ness. I did pretty good with the giblets and drippings we had. A lighter color gravy but tasty and turkey tasting. preshow snacks which was fortunate because the bird took an hour longer than expected (I think my brother was basting the bird way too often and letting the heat out but we got there) celery with cream cheese, olive, and gerkin tray cheeses; sharp cheddar and I brought aged provelone pepperoni some corn nacho chips and peach salsa warm brie cheese in puff pastry with apple slices (this was to die for and I'd have eaten the whole thing) our dinner list; turkey mashed taters candied yam cauliflower and broccoli with white cheese sauce jelly and whole berry cranberry sauce mashed orange squash dressing, the star of the show to my taste buds the dessert menu; 2kinds of pecan pie a from scratch pumpkin pie made with salted caramel regular pumpkin apple pie and my mom's cheesecake which isn't usually a TG thing, it's usually Christmas and New Years. I ate it anyhow.

Its a tradition at my Thanksgiving to forget to put something out. Usually my mom forgets to cook the green beans or asparagus. She almost forgot the cranberry sauce this year, but luckily I opened the fridge and reminded her .
