Q: Hello! This year I am going to attempt my first American Thanksgiving dinner. My husband and I are Mediterranean, and haven't really gotten into the all-american holiday foods since we've lived here. This year we are having a big dinner with all of our friends and I'd really like to do it all by myself and our guests to really enjoy it! I've put together my menu plan and have all of the recipes for the dishes. Could you guys tell me if it sounds good and what adjustments I should make, if any? Thanks so much! Menu thus far-- Turkey and dressing Macaroni Mashed Potatoe Sweet Potatoe Casserole Green Beans Almondine Cranberry sauce Rolls Apple pie Pumpkin pie Bread pudding What do you all think??????? Oh yea, what drinks should I serve? I haven't even thought about that! Sorry, I don't know why I put an "e" on "potato" lol...
A: I think your menu sounds very good, and thank you that you are including apple pie on your list, I hate pumpkin pie so when people serve apple, I'm a very happy customer. And I do love bread pudding yet no one makes it on Thanksgiving. You have a very good choice of foods. And like other people suggested make a list of foods that other people can bring, just like our family does. And if you want I like the idea of adding Mediterranean dishes to your meal. Also I would suggest maybe some corn, maybe even other veggies involved. And to drink I would suggest tea, juice, and pop. That's what most people here like to drink, at least in my family. Get somebody to maybe get two cases of soda's or something. I hope your Thanksgiving turns out well! Hope I helped, blondie.
