Mrs B & I are going to butcher a couple of our geese.
Our kids, grandkids, siblings, nieces and nephews are coming in. Hoping two geese will be enough. Along with veggies, venison, fish (from our pond), and preserves. Oh yeah, cornbread dressing and dirty rice.
Ours will be on the traditional day, though various permutations of guests will be present starting this coming Saturday.
I have a couple of friends who adopted a girl from China. Since the adoption they have been inviting foreign grad students to their house for thanksgiving. They invite guests to bring a traditional side dish of their culture. It's a lot of fun and an amazing mix of characters. I miss that.
