What is on your ThanksGiving Day Menu?

I am putting together a list of foods to have at ThanksGiving.. But Im Tired of it always being the same basic items every year. I was wondering what others are planning to have this year. Maybe this will help me find some new foods to try serving!!

1. nothing, I will have to work more than likely so I haven't planned on a menu really.
2. Swanson frozen turkey dinner
3. try fish, stuffed with tomatoes and onions. also try squash with shrimp. and some of the old stuff like mashed potatoes etc. good luck! =]
4. I don't know. I have to figure out what place to crash on. Where should I go ? To my mother's house ? To my brother's house ? He probably will go to my mother's house. To my best friend's house ? She will go to her mother's house. Shall I go to your house ? Probably I will be one of those anti-thanksgiving celebrants...just stay home watching the thanksgiving day parade or a movie eating popcorn and junk food. Cooking ? I don't want to cook that day. So much food wasted ...why eat and drink so much ? Why do I have to feed abunch of vultures ? I have been doing that for years...now it's my turn to drop by at other people houses. Yeah ...don't cook anything ...drop by at dinner time at somebody house.
5. Our traditional Thanksgiving meal is Cornish hens stuffed with shrimp & scallop dressing, mashed potatoes & giblet gravy, green beans, sweet potato souffle, mac & cheese, cranberry sauce, and homemade rolls. For dessert, sweet potato pie and coconut cake.
6. Appetizers: pepperoni bread, spinach dip with bread & veggies, pigs in a blanket Dinner: turkey, gravy, stuffing, string bean casserole, corn, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with apples, bread Dessert: pumpkin cheesecake, apple cake, cherry pie, rhubarb pie If you are looking for variations on the traditional meal, look at www.foodtv.com. They have menues for an Italian inspired Thanksgiving, as well as a Southern holiday, and then just modified recipes so that you get a variety each year instead of the same thing.

I'm wondering how many mouths your feeding if i knew it was alot i'd give you a whole long list but i dont know so here are just a few!: Spiced Pumpkin Seeds: (Make these a few days in advance) 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine, melted 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Combine the margarine, salt, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce and pumpkin seeds. Mix thoroughly and place in shallow baking dish. Bake for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
