Our Thanksgiving is usually about 20-22 people large. We always have two meats. A traditional turkey (although this year we're grilling it), and then a duck option. I'm making the duck this year...it's going to have a red-wine sauce and candied kumquats.
For appetizers before the big meal, we usually have a bunch of wine and cheese for the adults focusing on a particular region of the world or California, and then of course pigs in a blanket for all the kids.
The sides are all fairly predictable and traditional...gravy, broccoli or green beans, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, etc.
The dessert is always pie...usually we have three options, which are almost always pumpkin, apple and key lime.
We also do a brunch the morning of where the only things served are raw oysters and champagne...delicious and easily my favorite part of the day.
