Perhaps something to think about next year. I never knew that Germany didn't have all those prepared conveniences. That’s so neat that you did the whole thing from scratch.

It's all about family and friends, not about what is being served :o) I wanted to keep the Czech tradition and have schnitzel (don't eat carp) and potato salad on every Christmas Eve. It did not work out that way every year. I'm not stressing about it. If I have time - I do it, if not I don't. Just saying :o) You are totally right.

Now I eat all kinds of stuffing but WC stuffing is my favorite. we only have WC once a yr. My hubby thinks we're weird. but it's a family tradition. :) other than that I love sweet salads, like carmeral apple salad or betty bopp salad. yummy!

Me? I'm looking forward to that turkey! To wrestling with a 20-pound + bird, that may or may not be completely thawed tomorrow morning, getting all up close and personal with its innards before I can even bake it ... not so much. :-) We don't have anyone coming over. And we save the running around for Christmas. Tonight, it's pie-baking. MMMMMMMM. I adore pumpkin pie! Happy Thanksgiving! Glad that it worked out so well! Me? I’m looking forward to that turkey!

Alas, it will never happen for me... I get two Thanksgivings, chock full of meat. At least my family (Thanksgiving #2 on Friday) provides lots of vegetables... Husband's family's idea of a vegetable is the green bean casserole covered in fried onions (ew) or sweet potatoes with marshmallows (ew ew). Of course, I suppose someday when I get to host Thanksgiving, I'm going to have to cook all these foods for them if I want them to show up, which will be even worse... in addition to roasting a turkey. Eeeek! (I mean, I cook meat in my own oven and it goes in my pans as per the request of my husband... just roasting an entire turkey seems like kind of a daunting task for someone who has not eaten meat for 12 years.) *sigh* A vegetarian Thanksgiving… my dream come true.
