I'm starting to make a tradition of this since this is now the 2nd year running. My family usually goes to either my in-laws or my cousin's house to have Thanksgiving with either my wife's family or mine and cooking for the gaming group lets me channel my inner Alton Brown.I also made mashed potatoes, green bean casserole (yes, the French's friend onions casserole but I used fresh green beans), and a lentil loaf for my favorite vegetarian (my wife). Quite a lot of work, but an excellent dinner overall.Last night, I made 2 pies to take to my in-laws this week. I had to make them gluten free because of my sister-in-law's diet restrictions so we got a couple of GF crusts from the local food co-op and made a strudel topping for them with a GF mix. Blueberry pie (recipe courtesy of Mark Bittman) and pear-cranberry pie (recipe off the internet). I'm really curious to see how the pear-cranberry pie turns out since I used maple syrup for extra sweetening instead of sugar.</blockquote>
