Mmmm. I cannot stop thinking about Thanksgiving! I love the corn, the stuffing, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, the cranberry bread, the blueberry muffins. Oh, and the pumpkin pie (I cannot believe I used to hate the stuff) and this unbelievably delicious Jewish apple cake with cream cheese frosting that my aunt makes. My sister and I eat the cake for breakfast! Really, just gimme the carbs!

I'm all about the complete turkey experience -- that means a moist turkey with crispy skin (and I love turkey skin -- just what I shouldn't be eating!), a robust stuffing (with scallions or onions), and my sweetie's orange-cranberry sauce. Gravy is good too. The sides I am less strict about -- but absolutely no damn Brussels sprouts. I like a more rustic mashed potatoes with skins and lumps, string beans or sauteed spinach, and rustic rosemary rolls (not that I'm picky).
We did a chipotle paste for the turkey one year (from Chile Pepper magazine from years past) that was dynamite but quite zippy.

Gravy! Turkey gravy is the ultimate comfort food. On mashed taters of course. Close second is turkey sandwich the next day, has to have canned cranberry jelly like sauce with turkey and lots of mayo!

the turkey! we get a wonderful smoked turkey that makes the best sandwiches. and i like to eat my cranberry/orange/walnut relish straight from the jar with a spoon. and drunken sweet potatoes with lots of bourbon.

Stuffing, please! (My fave is mom's, of course -- now I make it too. It's made with crushed saltines, and you put fennel in with the celery, carrots, onions and turkey sausage -- YUM. And it's not cooked in the bird -- eeew). And cranberry sauce (homemade, not that canned crap-ola). Together = even better.
CrispyGirl - you are hilarious! I love your passion for pie.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving takes place in the kitchen before the 20+ guests are served. I take the turkey out of the oven and focus on the part of the backside of the turkey with a big flap of skin that I always stuff in addition to stuffing the cavity. I slice off that super-crisp portion with the bread/sausage/currant/celery/onion/sage stuffing all moist and steamy and sticking to the skin that is so crisp it crackles. I put it on a plate having every intention of serving it with the bird. But I must taste it, just to be sure the stuffing has the proper seasonings and---whoosh---within a few minutes the plate is clean with only the faintest trace of crumb as incriminating evidence.

if i'm having dinner with my friend the 'q meister, it's the turkey. he brines it and then smokes it in his japanese ceramic barbeque, the "big green egg". i've never had anything quite so fabulous.
i've made that cornbread stuffing from silver palate, ed, and it's wonderful, i agree.
otherwise, my favorite thing is the homemade rolls i always make. i got the recipe from an old sunset cookbook. they are called buttery pan rolls, and the recipe calls for 18 tablespoons of butter. oh, they are decadent!

Stuffing is always excellent, followed by gravy. Of course, you don't usually eat it on it's own (though I have been known to slurp down several spoonfuls as I'm "tasting"), but it can be eaten with nearly every savory part of the meal. And to me, stuffing and gravy are the best parts because they're two foods you rarely eat outside of Thanksgiving. Mmmm....
