Carnival of carbs

[geekchick]

It looks like there will be seven nine of us for dinner tomorrow. Clearly, looking at this list tells me that we're good on the stuffing at least. =)

Planned for dinner:

• Roast turkey
  
• nminusone's infamous red stuffing
  
• Sausage stuffing
  
• Possibly another batch of stuffing with maybe less meat (like, none)
  
• Mashed potatoes (with and maybe also without crab meat and Old Bay)
  
• Roasted apple and cranberry orzo (This I will definitely run out of, as I only got one package and can't mug a Schwan's guy before 5 PM tomorrow.)
  
• White and whole wheat rolls
  
• Jellied cranberry sauce, straight from the can, just like dear ol' mom used to make. ;)
  
• Cranberry/apple/orange relish
  
• Green bean casserole (Thanks for posting that link, porcinea!)
  
• Mixed greens and strawberry salad with balsamic vinaigrette and black pepper (assuming I can find some strawberries when I brave Wegmans tonight)
  
• Some variety of vegetables that happen to look good when I wander Wegmans, with which I can counteract the ZOMGSTARCH.
  
• I hear tell that easy_living is bringing a couple of pies. Mmm.
  

Now, to figure out where to put everyone. Also, run around like a madwoman trying to get stuff ready for company.

GBC plus Lesbians with Pies!

That is a recipe... for AWESOME!

The GBC is all your fault. I don't normally make it, it was fortuitous happenstance that Piglet posted a recipe for the world's best (so they say) green bean casserole around the same time you mentioned it. ;)

I don't normally make it, either... in Georgia as a kid, we had just green beans with bits of salt pork or bacon, as a side.

That's an everyday green bean side, even north of the Manson-Nixon line, when I was growing up.

GBC is *special*.

I think we had it a few times, but us kids were all really picky eaters and cream of mushroom soup was just Not Food. Piglet posted a recipe that looks great that I just finished putting together. Mmm, homemade cream of mushroom soup. I have no idea what it's *supposed* to taste like, but I've been snacking on it all morning. Breakfast of champions!

What? I had to check on the seasoning mix! ;)

Whereas 'traditional' for us involves green bean with almonds...

YUM!

I hear tell that easy_living is bringing a couple of pies.

Indeed. For a given value of "a couple" where "a couple" = "three".

One each of pumpkin and pecan, both currently cooling on the diningroom table, and one chocolate-mousse-with-fresh-raspberries, currently chilling in the fridge.

Did I mention that I LOVE all varieties of stuffing?

You, my friend, are definitely coming to the right place then. ;)

Oooh... I just took apple-pear and pumpkin out of the oven, but your last one is to lust for. :P

easy_living is the Evil Chocolate Elf. =) If we had her flourless chocolate cake and your and Pat's dark chocolate ganache truffles in the same room, we might all die in a delicious chocolate explosion of doom. I happen to believe there's such a thing as too much chocolate, and that might even convince other people of the truth of my statement. ;)

You are gonna have the world's best leftovers, darlin'. Have a terrific time - and a loooooooooong nap :-).

Heh, that's quite a spread you've got planned! Have a great time today! I have many happy memories of meeting you guys for the first time IRL a year ago exactly. :)
