We like to experiment with exotic dishes while the cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. are content to feast on Hungry Jack mashed potatoes and cranberries out of a can. We've tried cooking a gourmet meal for the extended family and it went over like the Titanic. So we compromise. My husband and I host Thanksgiving at our house (a duty I eagerly took on once I'd bought my "grown up" house at age 29) and we make Turkey laden with herbs, we grill duck and I make several kinds of mashed potatoes (from scratch). I then delegate side dishes, desserts and drinks to everyone else. My husband and I are the gourmet cooks in our family.

I will admit, even for my little family, I go way overboard... But that is ok.. I enjoy going overboard. I am happy this year everyone baled on me, that way, I don't have to worry about my house being in perfection or anything like that, I can focus just on the food and making sure I catch the parade before it is half way over. That sounds wonderful!

I'm sure it will be amazing. I love the idea of having individual folks be in charge of pieces of the meal. What fun! Have a great time! It sounds heavenly. I’m sure it will be amazing.
