That is ok....We always add celery and we mean all that stuff too when we
say giblets. We also use Pepperidge Farm cubes too.

Dammit, I knew I was leaving out an ingredient...we also add celery to
the dressing..about 4 stalks..
And just for clarity, by giblets, I mean liver, gizzard, heart, and
neckmeat...

Yeah, we do both sauces, too. I like whole berry, most of the family
likes jellied sauce. We are also having a fruit salad this year,
similar to yours but with sour cream.

As for pies, we will have both blueberry and pecan. He aren't much for
pumpkin or sweet potato...odd, I know.
Of course, I am only feeding 7.. my son still not home for yet another
holiday season.

I'd eat at your house any day Lynda..is K gonna make it home?

SISU! (Finnish--There is no single word in English that encompasses
all that sisu means, but it combines the following ideas: guts, pep,
determination, stubbornness, perseverance, hardiness, stamina, go, do,
nerve, spunk, pluck, and grit. It's like "Just Do It!"& "Go for It!")
