Whose baking or getting ready for Thanksgiving (and weight gain)

Keeping my old Swede pops family tradition going of having pickled herring every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Not as easy to find now with many of the local fish markets no longer in business. Used to buy a big tube of it for each holiday every year from Sandy’s on Greenwood. This will work though to keep the tradition going.
Anyone else like to eat pickled bait? 😉😂

Brian -
I worked at Subbase, Bangor for about seven years, I can't remember who it was in the office that brought pickled herring in every year about this time; they were delicous. I bought a jar at a supermarket; awful. ;-)
 
I like it…I also like anchovies & canned sardines and most small dead fish…

Likewise.
I always have cans of sardines around here.

Pat,
I agree, the store bought jar stuff isn’t as good. I had some for lunch though. 😉
There used to be a Scandinavian specialty shop on Market that had great pickled herring, but it is closed now as well.
I’ll need to find a new place to get my fix….

We were no doubt being served the Norwegian variety from Poulsbo :) (I never developed a taste for lutefisk). ;-)
 
Just finished, to bring over to our friends' place. They're hosting this year, but we've shared Thanksgiving with them since our kids were all little.
A little bittersweet - for the first time, none of the kids are home to join us - they're all grown up and out of town!

Very sad. We'll have to console ourselves by eating all of the granny smith flat apple pie by ourselves 😁

With ice cream, whipped cream, or cheddar cheese?
 
Ice cream or cheddar with apple

Whipped cream with pumpkin or pecan
 
Sharp Cheddar was always the choice when I was young also...seemed to be a NE or midwest thing but I could be wrong on that.

We grew pie pumpkins...
So...pumpkin pie
But it will be Pumpkin Chiffon pie, with whipped cream right in the pumpkin filling.

Next year we are growing pecans
Mark my words
Fucking growing pecans next year
🤣
;)
 
I just precooked the sweet potatoes. Tomorrow I'll split them, put butter and brown sugar on the cut sides, and pop them in the oven when I take the turkey out.
