Not going traditional this year as 14lbs of dry turkey is not appetizing. Plus we have a small family so no need to go crazy in the kitchen.

Smoked Ribs
Smoked bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos
baked cheezy potatoes
roasted asparagus & broccoli

Hoping that crab season opens on the west coast so we can boil crab on Wednesday!

Going to a large family get together, so I will bringing one of either two of my famous Brussel Sprout dishes. Even all the kids like brussel sprouts now thanks to them.

Secondly, is a green been casserole, but I don't want to use can greened beens, I want fresh. I opened the link in the OP, any others to look at? Thanks.

I'm making my tires go round and round as I drive to my sister's house.

I asked her who was coming for Thanksgiving this year and she said "You." With me going, it will make a grand total of three people. I have no idea why we are even going through the hassle, I really don't. (I told her that and she went batshit crazy on me, I can't wait for this to be over.)

I always make the cheesecake. Not pumpkin, no bourbon whipped cream, no strawberries or Amaretto or other crap. Just plain cheesecake as nature intended.

I shall purchase a nice hunk of ham today, and some Simply Orange orange juice.

You know, a traditional sort of thing. :D

Besides a trip to the Honey Baked Ham store....

Just a few sides.

Nothing overly involved.

I prefer to enjoy the company of my guest than tending to a stove or oven all day.

I purchased every for a nice dinner. then got a call from my sister asking us to come to her house.

my brother in law is doing a few turkey's in the deep fryer. My niece (just finished up culinary school in Chicago) is making a bunch of stuff. So there will be a ton of great food.

I can make the turkey latter (though i got 4 since they were cheap).

Oh ya, I also have to find a site to stream the 49ers game. They aren't showing it locally.
