<p>Come one, come all, and contribute whatever leftovers you wish!</p>

<p>S and I had our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, and I have the following to contribute:</p>

<p>[ul]
[<em>]Phyllo triangles with a mushroom/white wine filling
[</em>]Onion and cheese appetizers
[<em>]Spanikopita appetizers
[</em>]18 stalks of fresh asparagus
[<em>]Half a head of fresh broccoli, and half a head of fresh cauliflower
[</em>]2/3s of a cauliflower-potato-cheese pie
[<em>]Half a casserole dish of chestnut stuffing
[</em>]Half a dish of broccoli/cheese/fried onions casserole (like the traditional green beans dish, but made with broccoli instead)
[<em>]Half an apple pie
[</em>]One Bartlett pear and two Fuji apples intended for a fresh salad
[<em>]A serious hunk of gorgonzola cheese
[</em>]Wheat Thins
[li]Most of a bottle of Chilean cabernet sauvignon[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>I’ll start putting stuff out on the buffet about 4 PM EST, and I’m hoping someone has some corn casserole (the two cans of corn, one creamed, one not, and corn muffin mix recipe) so that I can try it, since I didn’t get around to making it!</p>

<p>See you here later today!</p>

2

<p>I’ll bring cranberry relish, green bean casserole and a whole pumpkin pie. I keep saying I want to lose weight but I guess the refrigerator is going on a diet first.</p>

3

<p>Pumpkin pie (only a few slices left and going fast)
Turkey with gravy
Oyster stuffing
Cranberry sauce
Two bottles of wine
One bottle of sparkling cider that was forgotten in the basement fridge</p>

4

<p>Smoked Salmon Spread and Townhouse Toppers
Cinnamon-Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Half an Apple Pie
Homemade Mushroom Pizza (that’s from yesterday’s dinner, after tree-cutting)
That’s it (from a Thanksgiving Dinner for 14)!</p>

<p>Had to go grocery shopping today to replenish, now that S1 is back at school.</p>

5

<p>Oh, good, pumpkin pie!!! Didn’t make (nor buy) one this year. </p>

<p>num num num!</p>

6

<p>Maybe I should have some turkey, green bean casserole, and sweet potatoes first, though… !</p>

7

<p>Am I too late?</p>

<p>I have an assortment of cheeses and some adorable miniature Bartlett pears. Also just a serving or two of roasted butternut squash.</p>

8

<p>No, not too late at all! This is the grazing/munching/chatting/drinking/weeping/laughing/get rid of leftovers place to be!</p>

<p>Butternut squash, you say? Yay!! (Next up, pears with cheese!)</p>

9

<p>3/4 of a Trader Joe’s Pecan Pie (too sweet even for me!)</p>

10

<p>We drive 4 hours out-of-state for Thanksgiving, so I only prepare/take “cold” items. I have about 1/2 gallon of apple cider fresh from the orchard. Count me in!</p>

11

<p>Slow- roasted heirloom tomatoes
sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows
a bit of turkey with caramelized onion-balsamic gravy</p>

12

<p>Turkey (from the SECOND turkey we made) and gravy, half a pumpkin pie. And lots of ham.
Peas with garlic and onion butter, sweet corn.</p>

<p>We just sent our boys back with a BUNCH of food, so we don’t have that much here.</p>

13

<p>Cranberry sauce (homemade), pumpkin bread, turkey, turkey, turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, all that. But supper is almost ready, and it’s all of the above, so I don’t know how many leftovers there will be after we eat the leftovers!</p>

14

<p>Owlice, I have one serving of corn casserole left, here you go.</p>

<p>Also bringing pecan pie tartlets, some Yukon gold mashed potatoes, some sliced ham and some assorted cookies my mother left here. Oh, and some truffles.</p>

<p>And popping the cork on Toasted Head Chardonnay.</p>

15

<p>Extending my wine glass…thank you, eggmom!</p>

16

<p>Sweet potato pie, cornbread dressing and some mustard greens, here.
Mafool, I can turn that butternut squash into a great soup.</p>

17

<p>I love butternut squash bisque, Texasmama! I use apples and onions in mine. What do you use?</p>

18

<p>Well, we still have chicken with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes, from dinner Wednesday night, plus lots of turkey – but I’m sick of it all, so I made a lasagna just for DH and me.</p>

<p>You all can have whatever you want – no dessert left, no potatoes left, just a little turkey, and lots and lots and lots of stuffing.</p>

<p>Must buy gravy. Yum – stuffing and lasagna. :eek:</p>

19

<p>Only stuffing and mashed potatoes are left over in my house; if anyone cares for them, I’ll put them out. All non-starch vegetable and protein matter was consumed. The dog feasted on turkey skins, and now will not touch dog food without the turkey “flavor”.</p>

<p>eggmom, thanks for the corn casserole! I’m definitely making this for Christmas!! Yum!</p>

<p>BunsenBurner, you can always make stuffing sandwiches!! :D</p>
