What did your Thanksgiving meal look like this year? I know that there are a lot of people struggling right now to make ends meet. Did everybody have a present, relaxing day, or was it filled with drama?
I had planned on making a small turkey this year for my fiancee and myself, but ran out of money, so I'm having green bean casserole, whipped mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and I'm going to figure out some way to make turkey deli meat fancy. LOL I'll post a picture when I'm done making everything!
So, here we have a Turkey roll with Gouda cheese, "Gold" (oven roasted potatoes with herbs in bacon grease), green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and homemade cranberry sauce:

Deep fried turkey, simple ham in the oven with potatos, rolls, fruit, pie and lots of other misc stuff. Wasn't a bad spread, but I kept away from the turkey so I wouldn't sleep my afternoon away.

Senkusha, We just had spaghetti lol My parents will be over today instead. But for our meal, it's nothing fancy. Roast, potatoes & gravy. I think your presentation is quite good. Having it on a pretty plate like that makes it all the more special. demonskeith, I don't eat turkey as it's quite dry but I can relate to the tryptophan effects of sleepiness Edit: Will Sticky this so others won't miss it

Your meal looks delicious Senkusha, I used to do a big meal at Thanksgiving as there was always a lot of mouths to feed. Now there is just myself and my son so for this Thanksgiving which as a Canadian is celebrated in October I ordered an Indian appetizer tray from M&M Food Market. I will do the same for our Christmas Eve dinner. My son gets a turkey from his work for Christmas so I do a big meal then.

Thank you!
I'm doing a ham with my spouse, and her mom for Christmas. Beyond that, I'm clueless.

Your meal looks absolutely yummy, Senkusha! For Thanksgiving, we visited our daughter & son-in-law and had a delicious dinner! And, fun for all!
