I recently talked to Aunt Nene and she has given me most of the menu items she has thought of. A few of these are specific recipes that she is also sending on, but the others are more general. So here is what we have so far:
Main dish:
Turkey with plum sauce (have to see what size turkey we need to get for about 30 to 35 people)
Cornish Hen with plum sauce(for Grandpa)
Question: Does anyone want ham as well? I know Grandpa can't eat the ham, but if there are a lot of people wh would like a ham there, we need to know so it can go on the grocery list.
Side dishes:
Stuffing
mashed potatoes with gravy
waldorf salad (Grandma is making this)
asparagus? (Aunt Nene said she couldn't think of really great ideas for veggies, but that she likes asparagus)
green bean casserole?
cranberry sauce (from the can)
frozen fruit salad
sweet potatoes w/marshmallows on top
Other suggestions:
a veggie tray
bread
Dessert:
pumpkin pie
pumpkin custard (for Grandpa)
blackberry pie?
Drinks:
blackberry lemonade
sparkling cider
water
(do we need another? if so, I have a punch recipe that was a hit at a recent party in Dothan).
Okay, so please let me know if you have other suggestions. And thanks, Aunt Nene, for putting all this together and finding ways to make Grandpa's dinner delicious and flavorful!

yum!
I'm highly allergic to salt so if we could maybe have the food prepared with out any salt that would be great. Thanks.

P.S. candied yams are my favorite
oh man, how do you live being allergic to salt? *hugs*
anyway, I would absolutely love to help cook these fantastic dishes, i love my kitchen :D i wouldn't mind a ham at all, being that i doubt there is a turkey big enough to feed us, a ham may go great.
El... You're going to have a lot of explaining to do at reunion time. Here we all are so concerned over your special needs, so we believe you...
As repayment, I'm putting tomatoes in EVERYTHING. :)
