Looks a lot like our menu, save for the few questionable Polish additions the wife's family likes to make. And oh yes, we are the lucky volunteers for "Thanksgiving Central" as well, too bad we don't have a big dining room... heck, we don't even have one per se, just a breakfast nook area. So we are rearranging furniture to get a long table in.
13 adults and eight kids shall make our decently sized home a small, confined madhouse
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!
Okay Doc, how large of a crowd? Remember it's not the size of the dining room that counts but the the food to person ratio!!!!!
We entertained 28 people this year; kids, grandkids, aunts & uncles, grandma etc. etc. We had to rent two dining tables + chairs in addition to our formal table which can seat 12 with all 3 inserts mounted. That dining room paid for itself bigtime
Remember that 27 pound turkey? It barely fit into the oven and took almost 6.5 hours to cook. Damned thing was the Arnold Schwarzenegger of turkeys in that it appeared to have the meat of a 32+ pounder
When I made up the stuffing it became obvious that the rule book was going out the window, so I made the equivalent of 6-7 boxes of instant stuffing. We had 2 cups of leftovers.
We also made up ~2 gallons of craberry sauce, of which we now have none left over.
