Thanksgiving food -- advice sought
Nov. 18th, 2004 10:50 amSo...for the first time in a while, my parents are hosting Thanksgiving dinner. So that my mom doesn't have to do all the cooking, I'm pitching in to do side dishes and the other guests are bringing dessert. But I'm still waffling on which side dishes. Here's the current dinner menu (not counting dessert) as I know it:
Mom-of-Nomi (AKA Ima AKA lcNlc) is making:
-- Turkey
-- Rice stuffing
-- Some roasted beef-type thingy (I think she said she was making London Broil, but it depends on what the butcher has available)

mabfan has already requested:
-- Bread stuffing (recipe already set)
-- Mashed potatoes (recipe already set...what recipe one needs for smashed potatoes)
-- Vegetable stew (from the first Moosewood Restaurant cookbook)
My brain keeps telling me that perhaps I also should add in something sweet-potato related (because it's Traditional) and perhaps something squash-like (because squash says Fall to me).
Opinions? Favorite recipes people want to suggest (keeping in mind that anything I make needs to be kosher and pareve(neither meat nor milk) or fleishig (meat)?
(mind you, providing enough food for an army -- even though the guest list is all of 8 people long including the hosts -- is not a problem; any Thanksgiving leftovers can easily become Shabbat food)
