When I live in Pollock Pines, CA it was hours drive to South Lake Tahoe, we use to do Buffett at Del Webb's High Sierra Casino, all the food was to die for, Prime Rib was wonderful. Price was like 7-8 bucks person in 1980's..
Thanksgiving Meal?

I was going to do a Cornish Game Hen in an outdoor Dutch oven since it is just me now, and throw in some corn on the cob, mushrooms, broccoli, Stovetop stuffing in the hen, and spices. But....
Granddaughter called the other day and asked what I was doing for Turkey Day. Apparently she doesn't have anywhere to go (her Mom and Dad are going to be in Mexico on vacation on T-Day). Sooo....
I picked up a 9 pound turkey breast to throw on the smoker along with husk-on corn on the cob I have in the freezer, and will make the stuffing and brown gravy as a side and some steamed broccoli or something as another side. I picked up a new bag of apple wood chunks to use, along with a bit of hickory. My turkey breasts have always turned out good.
Some biscuits may also be good.

Going to my brothers. I didn’t even ask because I don’t care. Here’s how the conversation went:
Me: what ya’ll doing for thanksgiving?
Bro: we’re staying here and cooking. I thought ya’ll were coming over?
Me: Oh ok, yeah I’ll be there.
Bro: Alright cool. Bring some dessert
Me: Cool. I’ll see ya next week then
*click*
I’m sure whatever they are making will be edible. If not, I’ll eat the cheesecake and chocolate cake I bring.

Here in PA roast turkey is mandatory. I’ll roast a 14 pounder in the oven with bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, gravy and cranberry sauce. Some folks add sweet potatoes but I hate ‘em. Finish off with pumpkin pie (with Reddi-Whip). Wonderful meal that I look forward to every year. And lotsa leftovers.

You’re a good Granddad.
I fried my first turkey of the season today. A 13+ lb bird was a little over 5 bucks. That's some cheap eatin'...lol
Tofurky anyone? Odd how someone against eating meat would want to eat something that tries to mimic the appearance, texture, and the and taste of it.
this year?

Probably local Chinese or Japanese restaurant. We are only two and my wife is vegan (and was never a great cook - she admits it), so this is the easiest for us. If we stay home, which is 50/50 as we both getting over a nasty cold, I probably have pork roll sandwich - NJ and maybe some PA people understand what this is.
Only making it a Pork Roll-Scrapple Club Sandwich could make it more mid-Atlantic.
Respect.
No scrapple here....a friend of mine loves it, and she eats it doused in maple syrup!?!?
I’m not averse to a little maple syrup contamination when scrapple is a side for my pancakes. I probably wouldn’t go as far as your friend does, but who am I to yuck on someone elses’s yum?

I could do without and hoopla between say 20 November, and 2 January, as most of what goes on I could live without. JMHO
My favorite Thanksgiving was with the family near Destin Fla., I bought fresh shrimp and made shrimp scampi turned out to be a big hit.
Turkey is in the smoker. Well actually it went in about 2hrs ago.
I have to go now. My friends brined two turkeys that they raised themselves.
I'm bringing Wild Turkey 101, just like the Pilgrims had.
¡Adios!

I’m a huge scrapple fan, living in the heart of Scrapple Nation. Pork roll? Not so much.

Taking break with Coffee n Cigar.
