Preparing for Thanksgiving

For the first time in several years, we will all be off work on Thanksgiving.  It is my favorite holiday, I LOVE spending the whole day cooking with and for my family.  This year we are going to be making a few changes to the standard menu.  Several of my kids have been less than enthusiastic about Thanksgiving.  I sat down with them and found that most of the kids dislike almost everything we usually serve.
