Once again, the wife and I are having family and friends over for our yearly get together. I got a big jump on making some of the food while the wife was at work yesterday. The green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, cornbread dressing and giblet gravy are finished and only need to be put in the oven or heated on the stove. I got a jump on the pot of chicken/sausage/okra gumbo everyone seems to crave as soon as they walk in our door.
On T-Day I will fry 2 turkeys and make rice for the gumbo and mashed potatoes to have that freshly prepared. Of course there are pies and various spirits between beer, wine and the harder stuff for folks to enjoy.
By last count we will be having between 15-18 coming over, a big dip from last years 30 that found some family members coming in from out of town at the last minute.
Here's wishing everyone who participates in this holiday a good time, good food and an appreciation of all the good they have in their lives to be thankful for.
A different Thanksgiving for my wife and me this year. My daughter and her family are in France, my son and his family are sick in North Carolina, my wife's daughter and her son flew in from Colorado last Friday and returned yesterday, so we had Thanksgiving with them already.
So what are we having.....Shrimp, Oysters and Fish in Gulf Shores!!
P.S. Gumbo could you post that chicken/sausage/okra gumbo recipe?

PM me with your e-mail address as I have it already typed up in that format and have sent it out many times over the years. I'm not one of those types that think every recipe should be kept secret and willingly share with those that ask for it.
