Ideas for what to bring to a thanksgiving dinner?
My boyfriend has invited me to his families thanksgiving dinner.
I know they will already have all of the major fixings like turkey, vegetables etc
But I would love to bring something as well to show I’m grateful for being invited.
If it’s something I could pick up while I’m driving over that would be even better.
I’ve already asked him if there’s anything in particular I could bring and he just says to bring myself, but I’d love to bring a desert or somethign for the family, any tips?
You could bring your favorite dish, a lot of times different families have different traditions and serve different kinds of food… You could ask your boyfriend "you you usually have so and so" and if he says no then you could make it and share some of your families recipes and traditions…
For example, my family always had butternut squash, turnip and mashed sweet potatoes (along with regular mashed potatoes), and I have been to thanksgiving dinners at the houses of other family members and friends who don’t have those things, which are one of my favorite things about the meal…
Or you could take the easy way out and do a dessert or some wine/cider, you can never have enough pies or alcohol on Thanksgiving!
I an planning a trip to New York City next Thanksgiving can anyone give me some tips on were to stay?
Also what is the best places to see. I am wanting too see the Macy’s Parade while there, any hotel you would suggest to make it easy to sightsee and see the parade.
Well, New Jersey is very cost effective and there is train service from the NJ coast to New York. In terms of hotels in NYC for the Macy’s parade, I would not be suprised if they are all booked up already.
