What's Cooking for Thanksgiving? Moms Talk

We're just one day away from the big food fest, Thanksgiving!

Last-minute shoppers are filling the aisles at ,  and , getting the goodies for Thursday's feast.

Today, let's talk turkey. And all the trimmings.

What are you doing for Thanksgiving dinner? Are you going to someone's home, or are you the host?

Share your favorite recipes. How do you make your turkey -- brine, deep-fry, roast/braise? Pumpkin pie or apple pie, or are you on Team Cake? 

What are your favorite Thanksgiving foods? Are there new foods you're going to try, or traditional dishes you wish you could skip?

Tell about childhood Thanksgiving memories. Every year, my grandmother would bring Portuguese rolls from a bakery in Danbury that we'd use to make turkey sandwiches the next day. She just turned 99 a few weeks ago and still loves a good Portuguese roll.

Talk amongst yourselves in the comments.
