I threw Dutch's comment into a separate thread. Didn't want to see it buried.

My wife and I will be having dinner with our daughter, her husband and our four grandchildren at Ft. Stewart. Plus it is an open house dinner so any soldier at Ft. Stewart who doesn't have any family to spend Thanksgiving with is welcome to come by and eat with us.

Not to spoil the thread, but your post reminded me of an article I read earlier, where the Pentagon is planning on closing all commissaries.  How would that affect you daughter and family or would it?

They're not what they were 25-30 years ago. It used to be that a serviceman could save some money at them.
Around the start of the Clinton era, they were forced to "price up" so as not to compete with local business.
The over all savings diminished. Same with the PX/BX.
I haven't shopped any for a long time, so I'm not positive anymore.  Closest one is four hours away.

I'm not exactly sure what my wife has in store for us and her parents, as it's going to be her parents' last Thanksgiving up here (they're moving to NC in May).  I do know that I've told one of the women in my church that I will assist in cooking and delivering Thanksgiving meals for our parish's shut-ins (on Wednesday).  We're in a rather affluent area, but there are some elderly and poor people in the parish.  It's the first time I'll be doing something like this.  I think it'll be a fun time.  Between that, and hosting my in-laws, I'll be singing at the 10 AM Thanksgiving Mass.

We could bat this around for quite some time.
However, Dutch's comment puts to light what we should be thankful for.
I'd like to see it put as a separate post, to stand alone for all DUmpmonkies to see and read.

SECONDED!!!!

Dutch, please start a thread with "What Thanksgiving really means" or something similar!!!!

Maybe "My Mother put the "Thanks" into "Thanksgiving" -- but you decide!

Is this about closing them permanently or just for the holidays?

Permanently....I think

Hagel has ordered a plan on how to close them.  Might be part of Obama's 2015 budget proposal.

I'll ask when I'm there. It would hurt because food prices are lower and there are no sales taxes.

Another year at my mother's.  Same meal every year, heavy on the vegetables, but it's good food and tasty.

Turkey, obviously
Sage sausage dressing (not stuffing)
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Mashed turnips and mashed potatoes
Jellied cranberry sauce straight from the can (don't knock it)
Yorkshire pudding
Lots of brown gravy

Ah, well Mr. Biersmythe and I find ourselves with a very unique guest list- my Mom and a few friends that are in-between gatherings of their own.  We've combined resources and came up with a good menu that fits our needs for the best dishes ever!  Granted, there are only 5 of us, but we shouldn't have to cook for the rest of the weekend:

I bought a turkey, Guests are bringing a smoker, and we shall smoke that bird.  

Guests are bringing:  

Stuffing- with bread, not cornbread. 
Braised Carrots

I am making:

Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Beets-with Balsamic and Blue Cheese
Creamed Corn
Dessert-Baked Apples


Biersmythe is providing:

Homemade Rolls

My Mom (who is blind) is making:

Homemade Pecan Pie

We will have mulled wine before dinner, Riesling during, and various after dinner drinks, such as Tullamore Dew, and Prosecco.  Love a reason to have Prosecco.   :-)

The finale of the evening will be when I get home from taking Mom back to her house, and Punkin Chunkin begins.

My husband has to work on Thanksgiving since he works 200 miles away and won't even be home in the evening, we'll have ours the following weekend.

I eat a paleo/primal diet so with a few exceptions that's what I fix:

Butter, pepper & rosemary crusted Turkey with bacon on the top (of course)
Fresh green beans cooked for several hours with bacon
Carrots sauted in coconut oil and generously sprinkled with chili powder
Paleo Stuffing (no bread, can't stand soggy bread)
Garlic Cauliflower & turnip smashed "potatoes" with giblet gravy
Sweet potato casserole with a pecan crust (hate marshmallows)
Berry-Apple Salad with fresh grated coconut and ginger honey dressing
Deviled eggs (of course)
The most decadent flourless dark chocolate cake in the world
Apple pie tartlets with a hazelnut/almond flour crust. These freeze well and I'll be making my husband his favorite "regular" apple pie so there will be lots left over
Margaritas

I know, I know, it kinda sounds like a DUmmie meal, but it's really not. I've eaten like this for so long, if I eat grains and regular sugar, it makes me sick to my stomach.

Oh, they're ridiculously expensive! I went with my son when I went down there to greet him when he got back from Afghanistan. And there's a complete lack of variety.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallow/sugar is just wrong.  That stuff is so nasty.

Since the DUmmies are already bitching and moaning about Thanksgiving, I thought we should share with them our plans for this fine day....

A 22 lb fresh turkey on the smoker...apple wood this year.
Mashed potatoes, gravy.
Cornbread dressing.
Spiced Rum Sweet potatoes
Corn pudding.
Home made biscuits.
Pumpkin Chiffon Pie
Bourbon (Bulleit) Chocolate Pecan Pie
Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir
Domaine Serere Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay

After dinner...
Hot buttered rum
Balvenie Double Wood scotch
Porto Kopke Colheita Port
Inniskillin Vidal ice wine.
Cuban (real) Cohiba cigars.

We will be having friends over, as our families are far from us. Our friends are as conservative as we are, and much fun will be made of obama and dimocrats in general.

Sounds great! It looks like you have all of the after-dinner food groups covered.

If you get a minute, can you post the recipe for your Bulleit Chocolate Pecan Pie?
