Anyone else share cooking duties with others? I’m responsible for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy... May supply more butt, that’s all for now folks.

I cook the turkey, mashed potatoes and make the gravy, abrosia, some times bake a pie, and make the STRONG coffee; she does cheesy potatoes,  stuffing,  beans/salads, coffee cake type bars, store bought appetizers and desserts, though she will make her own cheese, sliced meat appetizer plates some times.

This  year just the two of us so we are heading down to Morton, and go to the Casino for Thanksgiving Dinner.
$9.95 and when we were there some years back, very good.

I do the outside cooking, smoking or grilling all over charcoal not on gas. The wife does all indoor cooking unless for some reason we do steaks inside. I'm in charge of all steak cooking no matter where.

For Thanksgiving we'll have a spiral cut ham cooked already so basically just warmed up inside. Dunno what we'll have with it yet tho likely rolls and yams, maybe something else.

For CHRISTmas I have a big turkey which I plan to smoke outside over charcoal. With that we'll have rolls, cranberry sauce and dressing.

I have a full size ham for New Year's day.

Does your church have a Thanksgiving dinner; more and more churches are starting to do that.
When I was young, heck into my forties at least , that was not being done in small town Minnesota.

In the fifties and sixties there were very, very few homeless people and flop house hotels were there for them to rent a room, cheaply, while the Salvation army, YMCA and YWCA took care of and fed a lot of them.
There are a lot of lonely people now, it is a good thing the churches are starting to step up.

Surprisingly Yes. For a church of five hundred (500), we are blessed with a World Class Chef who has matriculated to us from the Disney World area's massive Peabody Hotel. He used to prepare meals Daily for twelve thousand five hundred (12,500) people. Now, only one hundred (100). The congregation donates the turkeys and the community at large is invited to participate free, especially the homeless, our outreach program. The dishes that Chef Marcio prepares are sensational.

 ! don't do any cooking, grilling or any other culinary gestures..never have, just not my kind of game. I will take dinner at my son's home nearby.

  Since I am th e kind who" eats to live", rather than "lives to eat" ....few would likely care for my cooking.

  I normally firnish the turkey or some other materials which may be suggested

  Our church does a free community meal, once each month ..and this month's meal may well be timed and tailored toward thanksgiving.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
