We will also have as a snack a dip we always just called Grandma's Homemade Dip and Bugles.
Take one 8oz. block of softened cream cheese and mix with a tablespoon of very finely minced onions, about a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a dash of worcestershire sauce. Mix well and chill at least an hour before serving so the flavors will meld. Serve these with "Bugles" if you can find them. If not, Fritos make an ok substitution.

Your menu looks delicious! And that dip recipe sounds very good, too--I love Bugles:)
You've brought back a memory for me. I had forgotten, but my Grandmother always had a dip she served with bugles! Thanks for sharing.
Everything looks like it will be ready for Thanksgiving. I love your pictures. Have a great Thursday.
What a clever idea. I like this and I like the Rockwell picture it is wonderful!

Can I just skip cooking my Thanksgiving dinner and come to yours? :) Everything sounds delicious. The little poem is so sweet; what a pity the author is unknown.
What a great little poem...Hope you have a wonderful week getting ready for Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by.
I like the Thanksgiving Alphabet.
Your meny sounds like a lot of work. I sure hope you will have some help. I used to cook like that but not anymore. We have Holiday dinnes at my daughters homes. And we all bring part of the meal making it easier on our hostess. This year I am making sweet Potato Surprise and pumpkin pie. I will be bringing crnberries and olives as well.
We will be having a wedding after dinner so it will be a very special day.
I hope your's is special too.
What a wonderful post, and I LOVE the NR picture also!
Nice Thanksgiving Alphabet! Your menu sounds like a real feast!!
I haven't seen Bugles in years!
