    Yeah but only for 6, we are sending out some plates to some others who cannot join so we wanted to have extra.
    Gluten Free holiday - my wife swears it is as good as a normal one.  (It is not). I do like making it so that she can eat pretty much everything. 
    I do make some dinner rolls with real bread as well as some gluten free stuff.
    Normal enough spread.   Turkey, stuffing and dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, a bunch of veg, spinach and cheese thingy, cranberry, rolls, apple pie and ice cream.
    No frigging green bean casserole.  
    Not at this table!
    Edit - I'm gonna cook up those innards as well.  Looking forward to liver/onions.  Wife likes the heart best.

    What are y'all planning?

    Anyone frying a turkey?  I keep saying I'm gonna do it and don't.

    Wife likes the heart best! You have yourself a winner. Sounds awesome and all delicious, though not sure about gluten free but I’ve never attempted or tried it.  Enjoy man. Thanksgiving rules.

    We’re sticking around Philly but not hosting. Taking our daughter to the parade in the morning, then my sisters. My brother in law is smoking a turkey so we’ll see how that comes out. Then to the wife’s family. Busy day but should be nice. My mom’s 70th was recently so doing a little something for her Saturday. Should be a nice holiday weekend

    Also hosting, 6 people.  Picked up the bird at the farm yesterday.  And yes to green bean casserole.  Very low key otherwise.  Only unique thing I make is something called cranberry horseradish mousse. Basically a pepto bismol colored mold that our family has done every year for over 40 years. Tastes fantastic, looks bizarre and make a great sandwich spread on Friday.

    Used the liver for a quick lunch of liver/onions.
    Liver gets a bad rap, it is really good.
