I always use canned blueberries instead of cranberries, which are too bitter. And please, no oysters in the dressing! Kielbasa and saurkraut. ---

I’m bringing the rolls. I also have some croissants made from scratch, very flaky, like their creator. And a chocolate cream pie(Grandma’s filling recipe and crust), with Kool Whip on top. **BigDaiv** , I’ll take a glass of that Frech champagne. ---

I like some pie with my Kool Whip (it’s so rude to eat it straight out of the bowl…) ---

I’ll bring my pumpkin pie made with sugar pumpkins and sweet amber squash. And real whipped cream, no cool whip stuff here. And no wine here, I’ll bring some beer. I’ll swing by the Red Hook brewery and get a selection of their fall finest. ---

I’m bringing the world’s finest glazed carrots. Slaved over a hot microwave all afternoon to make them, I’ll have you know 😃 For dessert, I was debating between pumpkin cheesecake and shoo-fly pie. Since I figured (correctly, it appears) there’d be pumpkins out the wazoo, I brought shoo-fly pie. Don’t you dare get any KoolWhip on it, **if6was9**! ---

Welcome my friends, **BigDaiv** , **intheblink** , **Baker** , **racer72** , **Empress Jolrael** and **flodnak**. **Baker’s** food is heavenly. I wish I lived closer to her, just so I could stop by the library to have a snack. **if6was9** needs to stop licking up all the Cool Whip[sup]TM[/sup] 😃 ---

I figured the crowd was getting bigger so I’d bring my world-famous turkey w/Grandma’s stuffing (no wierd stuff in here) and Williamsburg Sweet Potato Casserole (although I will help myself to alittle bit of the marshmallow stuff too;) ). ---

I used Cool Whip because that’s what Grandma usually used in her later years. She’s still with us, but in assisted living and can’t help with the dinner. Can I take her a plate of assorted virtual goodies afterwards? **misstee** , depending on how big the crowd gets I may have to duck into the kitchen and whip up something else. Let me know if we need extras, I have a recipe I call baklava-Kansas style. It uses chopped pecans instead of the more traditional nuts. That’s good champagne, **BigDaiv**. ---

Got room for another? I have here a mongo sized casserole of broiled carrots & parsnips, and a grilled-to-perfection turkey breast. (I also brought along three cans of Reddy Whip for the pie or …whatever.) ---

I brought the [shoo-fly pie](http://www.maplesprings.com/shoofly.html), where’s the taters? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/virtual-thanksgiving-dinner/211003.md?page=2)
