Thanksgiving 2011 Menu

I've been very busy, so while I've been thinking about it, I've haven't had the time to put down the same amount of forethought and planning.  So some things are going to be borrowed (some by request) from last year.  I think I need to start practicing pies, it is one of the places where I'm not thrilled at my experience, and so do not want to risk a bad pie.  We have a preliminary count of 16, which is up by 10 from last year.
