I am not a girly girl...no way, no how...but I love to cook.
My Mom put the center piece together. She did an awesome job.I took the cooking of Thanksgiving Dinner away from my Mom several years ago, and depending on the number of people I'm cooking for, I taylor my menu and meal. Last year there were only 8 of us, so I made a 7 course French meal complete with stuffed artichoke hearts and Cornish Game Hens with a dill sauce. This year, I had the larger assignment of feeding 20 people so I opted for Salt Crusted Prime Rib over the traditional turkey and stuffing. Here is a list of the menu...all homemade, I started on Wednesday to get everything done.AppetizersMushroom PateRoasted Red Peppers with capers and anchoviesBaked Brie with toasted almonds and sundried tomatoesSoupArtichoke & LeekDinnerSalt Crusted Prime RibButtermilk Mashed Potatoes (thanks Maren)Caramelized Onion & Roasted Tomato PanadeCreamed SpinachGreen Beans with Lemon & Roasted Pecans (thanks wzgirl)DessertCranberry Steamed Pudding (thanks Mom)Pumpkin Bread (thanks Maren)Pumpkin PieI had so much fun...I had more fun cooking for my family and friends than I had doing anything else. This is by far, my favorite holiday of the year. The weather is great, you get to have all of your family around, and there is no obligation of presents. 
Maren, my sister-in-law, created these "nut cups" with the kids...a nice project for the kids and a nice party favor for all. She is so thoughtful...I admire that about her.Happy Thanksgiving every one...even if you don't celebrate, any excuse to get together is reason enough.
