AIC Thanksgiving Dinner Food Round-Up

Jules · Post by **Jules** » November 5th, 2007, 4:35 pm

Hi I'll be helping coordinate the AIC family Thanksgiving meal to be held at Shannon's house on November 17th. Last year we had about 50 guests.

AIC will be providing the main course (which I've heard has been requested not to be Turkey) and a veggie main course.
Please provide suggestions for these. Ham? Tofurky? Lasagne?

We ask that individuals sign up to bring a dish or food item from the following categories.

Salads (green, fruit, carrot and raisin, jello)

Vegetables (broccoli, stir fry, casseroles, green beans, vegetarian options)

Starches (bread, rolls, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes)

Desserts (pies, brownies, cookies etc)

Condiments (butter, salt, pepper, hot sauce, sour cream) would also be nice to bring if you have extra.

As always, mix it up, get creative, share your family and cultural recipes.

Post your contribution here on this thread. I'll PM you to confirm your dish.

Also, BYOB to the party, though Orf is donating beer.

I'll be bringing a main dish or two, and i hope to offer up my veggie cornbread stuffing.

I'll bring pie.

PS - I am highly in favor of Turkey main course! Turkey is delicious, pure protein, tryptophanny goodness.

I'm guessing that Julie missed my other post earlier, but I am still looking for takers to change venues or a consensus to have this early enough in the day so I can make my evening gig at the Alamo and I don't leave my wife to entertain her husband's associates and friends.

Speaking of which - I really need to ask someone for a ride to the airport Thankgiving morning, Nov. 22nd. I'm hoping to be there by 7am. Plane leaves at 12, but you can never be too early.

Whoa... I did miss that post. Huh.....

Last year I made Vin Chaud (warm spiced wine) which seemed to go over well since I think it was all gone by the end. I'll only do that again if it gets colder. I also make a mean home-made mac-n-cheese and I'll work on something else that's veggie-licious.

I can't wait - I loved the event last year!

Actually, you can be too early, if doing so depends on someone else hauling his ass out of bed to take you.

If you're willing to risk it, I can get you there by 8.30 or 9, depending on where you live.

green beans!

And I am cool with moving it to noonish or whatever suites La Famille McCormick best.
