my cranberry-OJ turkey meatballs turned out to be amazing. they were gone in about 5 mins... and i had made probably 100 of them for about 30 guests.

needless to say, the only reason i'm up and typing this right now is because i had to poo-choo all that awesome food out of my body.

Weird Thanksgiving.......in-laws made lasagna. My wife and I are mostly vegetarian/pescatarian, but when we hosted we made turkey, so.....weird....but f'n delicious.

I made some Apps and tried something for the first time that my mom always used to make growing up:

Clam Pie

Ingredients

chopped parsley
1 cup dried bread crumbs
lemon juice
garlic chopped
1/2 onion chopped
dried oregano
1/4 cup mayo
4 cans minced clams (reserve juice from can)

Instructions
Mix all together, slowly add in some of the clam juice until the mixture is fairly moist
put in a pie plate
oven at 350 for 30-45 min (until top is just barely browned)

Serve hot with crackers (like a dip).

So goooood...
