I found out my guests are early afternoon meal people. It's fine...I'll just gain 10lbs.
Ok, so now that I have a menu and a time, I've started thinking about plating design. I've got some nice fall-colored China to use, and since I found chargers, I can go ahead and serve the plates already prepared instead of having to go get them off the set table (or having a bare table).
I want to try serving the stuffing topped with the duck from a (baked) mini pumpkin in the center of the plate, and surrounding the pumpkin with the green beans, potatoes, etc. And before the Thanksgiving Killer comments, yes, you CAN eat the pumpkin, but being that it's mainly decorative, you could opt out. However, I did find out that my guests ARE pumpkin people.
