I’m going to Mom’s and will not be taking anything with me. I have offered to buy her dinner at a nice restaurant, but she won’t have it. She says she prefers to stay in. ---

In my family, we just \*\* tell \*\* the others what to bring. This will be my first year cooking for only three people(including myself). I don’t know if I can make that little amount of food. I normally cook for 15 or so. I think I still will get the biggest turkey can fit in my oven – just think of how much more I will have for leftovers when cooking a 30lb. bird for three people! ---

I volunteered to bring “the Pumpkin Cheesecake I made a few years ago.” Unfortunately, I lost the recipe. I found a couple of new recipes, but I want to try them to see which will work out… so I’ll be eating the runners-up for the next few weeks… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/those-who-are-guesting-on-thanksgiving/426577.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/those-who-are-guesting-on-thanksgiving/426577.md?page=3)
