planning on making the turkey stock using the slow cooker and the mash potatoes, although that's a whole lot of butter PLUS sour cream... but my guess is that's what makes it taste so good. as for cranberry sauce, i have to admit i'm not a fan, although orange zest might change my mind on that. thanks for the recipes, and everyone else who is sharing your thanksgiving recipes. i can hardly believe it's right around the corner! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
