Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy dinner with family and friends. To me, the food gets better and better as the years go on.
Some dishes are the same and others get an updated twist. Pumpkin pie could be pumpkin cheesecake or yeast rolls could have a hint of sweetness to up the goodness quality.
There is always the year that the rolls were like bricks or the turkey took way longer than expected to bake. But hey, that is what makes it memorable! And I don't know about yours, but my family doesn't forget that kind of stuff!
Hosting Thanksgiving dinner is stressful with all the spring like cleaning and prepping for such an event that goes on beforehand. Getting out the good china is great for small intimate groups but I have also been to such large gatherings that paper plates were a must.
