I have to admit that I like making way too much for these type of celebrations. And the only reason I do is because it means you don’t have to cook for the next few days as there is always enough left overs to keep everyone going.

At this point, I’m trying to think about what to cut back. I had actually planned to make 3 pies for 6 people, excessive as it may sound — but a little while ago, two of the six called to say they were sick and couldn’t make it. So I’m cutting out one pie, at least — but I’ve still got a HUGE turkey, cornbread-sausage stuffing, baked sweets, brussels sprouts, a lovely green salad, plus hors d’oeuvres, in quantities that could probably serve at least 10 — for just four people. Sigh. If anyone needs a place to go, send them my way.

This makes me long for the time my husband and I spent in Brouge a couple of years ago. Although I was recovering from the stomach flu, I ate my fair share of moules frites. Thanks for bringing it all back!

I just read in the NY times that the average person eats like 4,000+ calories through the Thanksgving meal. I’d gladly eat that many and then some if you were making the meal. Sigh, your photos make me hungry!

I’m also thinking some of the same Thanksgiving semi-kill-joy thoughts that you are; with only a small group of 4 of us, I had to put myself in check as I was thinking of producing 3 pies. It’s a fine line between showing generosity with food and being over-the-top, and I know I often tilt the wrong direction when playing host.

I have some potatoes sitting on my counter that are now screaming to be made into your baked pommes frite! Thank you!

4,500 calories! Are you serious? My gawd. Well, like Howard I’m squeezing in some exercise while the turkey is in the oven and on Friday — all those calories must be like jet-fuel in my body.
The mussels looks fantastic, though. You could serve me that any time and I wouldn’t complain about too little food. It’s so good.

4,500 calories is the reason why I’m riding 30 miles tomorrow morning on my bike. :)

Hope you and Alex have a great Thanksgiving! And say hi to “A” for me if you see her.
