Me and my brother are cooking for 15 people and there will be no Turkey. I'm guessing that's different.
I'm going to be angry when Quarless or whatever random TE has like 180 yards against the Pats...
That's different enough, what are you replacing the Turkey with?
Me and the wife were throwing the idea around to do A Christmas Story ending type deal. We go to a Chinese restaurant, pig out, and then bring the leftovers home and not worry about cooking and cleaning. It turns out to be way cheaper than buying all the ingredients were planning on Ham, Turkey, Potato Salad, Desserts and Drinks. Kung Pao, Orange Chicken, Beef Broccoli and some Sizzling Rice Soup instead sounds good. I can pick up some Pies from Costco.
I do make a mean Honey Pineapple Ham though, so I would miss that.

Damn that looks good, I did the Chinese route last year for Christmas...worst mistake I ever made. The food was fine but it took hours to get the food.
For T-day it's usually just my sister, my dad and I watching football all day. I would cook a small turkey and all the regular side dishes. But this year we decided to just do completely different meals.
I'm doing Garlic-Lemon double stuffed chicken, stuffed cheese ravioli with pesto sauce, mashed potatoes with chorizo and strawberry salad and for desert my sister is making strawberry short cakes. I'm making everything from scratch so we'll see how it turns out! If I ruin it I have some frozen pizzas lol
