Although there are sometimes a few exception, no stores are open on Thanksgiving!

Let us repeat: NO STORES ARE OPEN ON THANSKGIVING!

Some of them close early on Wednesday! I'm tempted put a blink tag this. Plan ahead!

Make it Veg*n!

We're doing a vegetarian meal and we ask that folks brining and cooking food go veg for hte night. Vegan is not required but very strongly encouraged because it's a lowest common denominator. So, Earth Balance instead of butter; don't gratuitously de-veganize a dish!

Timing

Vague plan is to start cooking around 3PM, and be done around 7 or 8pm, with drinking and essential snacking interspersed throughout the day.

Dishes and other stuff you'll be bringing

You can add items that you want to make and add your names by the items.

Food

  • Tofurducken/Tofucken Mako/Acetarium
  • Setian Roast Mako/Acetarium
  • Stuffed bell peppers Mayo
  • Cranberry sauce Mako
  • Groovy Gravy Mako

Dessert

Drinks

  • Agua de valencia with sorbet (Cocktail/palette cleanser) Mayo
  • Wild Turkey (1 handle) because it's not thanksgiving without turkey Mako

Veggies&Fruits

Things to buy/bring

REMEMBER REMEMBER: Nothing is open on Thanksgiving. Like nothing. That means everything needs to purchased before businesses close on Wednesday. and Some of them close early. (Of note, Farmer's Bounty was open last year until 3PM or so on Thurs, pretending not to know the law.)

Move stuff from this list to the one above if people pick it up or commit to bringing it:

  • Food:
    • Sweet potato and apple
    • Pies (pumpkin, apple, etc)
    • Mashed potato
    • Stuffing!
    • Squash
    • Brussel sprouts
  • DRINKS:
    • Beer
    • Wine

Last year's list (food for thought)

The list was taken from last year's Thanksgiving page.
