5. i like traditional food cooked non-traditionally. like sauteed greenbeans, wild rice salads, oven roasted potatoes, and other things that don't have to be served hot. keeping all that food hot is not easy to do. the idea is to enjoy holidays and not stress out -- for ideas food network has a giant compendium of thanksgiving recipies from all their chefs -- they even have pages on planning tips -- http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/et_hd_thanksgiving/0,1972,FOOD_9845,00.html

8. I would have to say my favorite deserts is banana pudding. You put your 2 vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl add 6 cups of cold milk beat for 2 minutes, Add half of a container of whip cream whip an additional minute. line a baking dish with vanilla wafers, cut up 2 bananas in small circles line them evenly around. pour a thin layer of pudding and repeat until your heart is content. add the rest of the whip cream to the top and refrigerate for 1 hour. that makes 12 1/2 cup servings.
