If you do this, pictures are a must!

Although we normally host Thanksgiving, this year my brother is instead. They're deep frying a turkey, so I'm interested to try that. I brine mine... I'm not a big turkey person but brining takes out a lot of the dryness and adds some good flavor.

My favorite dessert to do: pumpkin creme brulee. Yum. My husband doesn't like creme brulee and my friend doesn't like pumpkin, but both loved it. Delicious.

I also usually make a colorful salad- watercress & butter lettuce with feta, pomegranate arils, sliced pears, and candied walnuts with a pomegranate vinaigrette. I may try to bring that this year too.

Mmmm my uncle deep fried one at a family get together once and it was amazing! I wish someone would do that again
