My rule for Thanksgiving is that we have all the dishes that the guests think are necessary for a proper Thanksgiving.
For me that means turkey, savory sweet potatoes with bacon, Acme levain, wine, and mayonnaise for later.
My usual suspects bring that bread casserole people call “dressing,” mashed potatoes, gravy, cloverleaf rolls, cranberry sauce, creamed onions, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and whipped cream.
This year, maybe I’ll make a Dorcas Reilly memorial casserole.
