We've already had our main Thanksgiving meal; yes it was early. Several people brought food; it was really good: ham, turkey, dressing, gravy, cranberry salad, creamed potatoes, greens, a corn/zucchini casserole/salad, garden peas, yeast rolls, sweet potato casserole (YUM), lemon meringue pie, spice cake, chocolate pie, homemade pumpkin pie. No, we don't put ice cream or coolwhip on it.

When I say "homemade pumpkin pie", I mean from scratch. We bought the pumpkin several weeks ago, peeled it, cut it in chunks, boiled it, strained it, mashed it, strained it some more, and froze it. Then recently I thawed out a pack & made the pie. Fresh frozen/thawed pumpkin tastes so different (better imo) from bought canned pumpkin although I wouldn't turn either one down in a pie LOL.

My fav part are the desserts!!
