Leaving town or staying put for Thanksgiving?

[Jack D.]

My wife and I and the 3 dogs are going out to her brothers place in Owego, NY just like we've done for the last 30 years. There's lots of family on his wifes side so they rent the church hall and have everybody there. It works out nice because they have a full commercial kitchen with all the big pots, china and serving utensils we need. Works out nicely because there's usually 30+ people to feed.

Everyone pitches in on the cooking and I'm the gravy and stuffing guy. Almost everyone brings some type of homemade favorite dish or desert so there's always plenty of food to go around and everyone gets leftovers for the trip home.
