Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves creating the perfect virtual Thanksgiving dinner.
I sure do miss my MIL's homemade rolls! And she always served shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. And my Dear Mom sure made good pumpkin pie and wonderful brown sugar glazed carrots. I remember eating the leftover prepared pumpkin pie filling cold, like soup. More than once Mom put a jar in the fridge and labeled it "POISON" so no one would mess with it! So, I will load up my virtual plate with:
And pumpkin pie for dessert. *drool*

I miss my Mom's cooking so much. MIL could cook up a storm but it's not always just the cooking that you miss....it's the people and their "ways" that you miss the most. At least I do.
Here's what I'd have....all made by Mom of course: White meat turkey Homemade giblet gravy Homemade cranberry sauce Homemade mashed potatoes Homemade dressing (soooooo good!) Green bean casserole Broccoli & Cheese (with rice) casserole Silver Queen Corn Homemade yeast rolls (my sister always made those) Watergate Salad (coolwhip, pistachio pudding, pineapple tidbits, pecans) Applesauce cake Pumpkin Pie Sweet, sweet tea! I'm hungry!!

Turkey, baked by my daighter
Dressing, sorry folks it's a box mix but stuffed into the turkey My jello salad is orange jello salad, jellow powder, cool whip, cottage cheese, drained pineappleand drained mandarin oranges, pecan pieces and mini marshmellows sweet potato and marshmellow, my recipe mashed potatos. We used to make then from real potatos but it is just to hard. But extra butter in the instant! Cranaberry sauce Green beans, my recipe home made rolls, Texas Roadhouse home made noodles with vut up turkey and broth in it giblet gravy, I can never get it right pecan, pumpkin, apple pies with cool whip fresh ice tea top it all off with some Tums!!!!! When we are all settled then we have a birthday party for my youngest grand daughter, complete with cake and ice cream! We used to make the real mashed potatos but my kitchen gets really hot, my brother in law insists that they are left lumpy and others don't like it that way. My husband has got quite good at doctoring the instant recipe that it tastes as good as the real thing. We have time to enjoy each others company more if we just do instant in the microwave.

Whole and jellied cranberries Home-made giblet gravy Green beans Corn Creamed onions Celery, carrot sticks, olives, etc. Parkerhouse rolls and butter Pumpkin and Apple pie Ice cream, Whipped Cream Wine, water, coffee, tea Just a little of each and lots of leftovers!!!

Everybody's menu sounds great! There isn't much I don't like unless you hide oysters in your stuffing...YUCK!!
