What's your favorite snack item while waiting for turkey?
I made cherry pie and deviled eggs (Old Bay Seasoning, sweet relish, minced shallots, light mayo). We also have pumpkin pie waiting for slicing.

4. Booze
Wine or whiskey. Beer takes up too much space.

5. I love thanksgiving stuffing
So I usually snack on the stuffing that was left out. But I make better snacks for others. ;)

9. Mmmmmm. I roasted some and used them in my cranberry chutney.
My chutney has dried fruits, fresh cranberries, cayenne pepper, and fresh ginger. It is sweet with a nice kick. The pistachios add crunch and nuttiness.

25. It's impossible to not sneak some of those Frenchs' onion rings out of the can
before the rest go into the green bean casserole.

This year I noticed that Sam's sells a 24oz bag of 'em :)

26. OMG, I thought I was the only one
I can't stay out of them when making my green bean casserole. I made it today and ate about half the container during the week before it ever made it to the casserole!
