Another home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner

Both of our families live in other metro areas (and we're quite tired of holiday traveling), so my SO and I will be spending this Thanksgiving together, cooking at home. We're both looking forward to being able to relax and spend a day in the kitchen.

Our meal this year will be similar to last year's dinner; here's our current plan:

• Crab dip with artisan bread
• Cran-raspberry-pineapple gelatin conglomeration
• Mashed potatoes, possibly converted into mashed turnips and potatoes
• Garlicky creamed spinach or green beans with bacon and onions
• Mashed yams with orange juice (for Radagast's SO)
• Baked sweet potatoes with marshmallows and brown sugar (for Radagast)
• A pork roast from our favorite German butcher
• Cranberry upside-down cake

Have a happy Thanksgiving; eat well!
