Just was wondering what everyone is doing for Thanksgiving...
Where you will be and with whom???
I also want to know if anyone is pre-planning what they are going to eat?
My biggest obstacle is the stuffing. I have always made it with sausage and mushrooms etc and it is to die for. Unfortunatley, it is right off the chart in calories.
If i start to eat it, i am doomed. So i have to come up with an alternative. Any ideas?

Nancy,
We are having Thanksgiving at home with all our family coming over.
*
My plan of action is the 3~bite rule and to only put on my plate what I really cant live without.

Micheal will be spending Thanksgiving at home, just the two of us.*** We'll be leaving Minneapolis Wednesday afternoon.**It will be a 13 hour drive at least, so we won't even get there til sometime Thanksgiving*morning so we're considering going to a restaurant for dinner rather than cooking a huge meal.* I need to go home to take care of Christmas for the grandkids*and we need to get tags on both vehicles or we'd just stay here.

We're actually doing a 'turducken', cajun-style w/sausage, andouille...etc which I'm quite certain is as lethal as you can get diet-wise, but, like I said before, I will have it all out of the house by Fri, so I can live thru 1 day.

Dan, that sounds divine!!!

We will go out to dinner with my in laws on Thanksgiving, and then we will do the home cooked meal with extended family on the following Saturday...

it will be just me and my husband for thanksgiving.* i have tried to talk him into going out but he wont have it.* and we have been invited to friends houses too.* but no,* he wants to cook.* i just eat a little of this and that and try to remember its only one day too.* and since i dont care for leftovers,* he can eat them all and i wont have to cook for a few days.....lol* i do hope you all have a great thanksgiving.

A Turducken is actually three different birds with layers of stuffing between each bird.* A chicken stuffed in a duck stuffed in a turkey.* It's YUMMY!
