Since I have divorced parents I have to do two Thanksgiving dinners.
On the Oklahoma side of my family we usually have turkey, ham, brisket, dressing, candied yams, corn, greens, cranberry sauce, sweet potato pie, carrot cake, lemon meringue pie, peach cobbler and sometimes cheesecake. Give or take a few more items.
On the Louisiana side of my family we usually have fried turkey, ham, venison, dirty rice, candied yams, dressing, greens, cranberry sauce, broccoli-cheese-rice casserole, bread pudding, cheesecake, sweet potato pie, and some kind of cake. Give or take a few more items.
To the married ladies:
Have you all wised up and decided to invite the in-laws to your homes for Thanksgiving?
