Help! What side dish should I bring to Thanksgiving?
Replies

I vote for either a traditional or holiday food from your culture that has general appeal and that you've made before (a party isn't the time to experiment with an unfamiliar recipe) or a favorite dish/food that fits your eating plan. If you have a specialty, bring that. If it's tasty, people will eat it.0

Just bring alcohol.
This goes without saying. This and a side dish. In my home, wine is preferable (to me at least; hubby would disagree).

You have to walk across town? Like, 10 miles? 5 Blocks? Is it raining? Hot? Bring something lightweight that can get smushed in a backpack that does not need any refrigeration.
And bring your camera.0 -
Skewers! Fruit skewers, veggie skewers, some fancy caprese skewers (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/caprese-antipasticks-recipe/index.html). You could mix in some cheese tortelini as well or make some fun dipping sauces.0

Only about 2-3 miles but across bad cobbles and there may or may not be ice. So I don't want to carry anything fragile or crucially dependant on being upright all the time. Rain and/or snow is a strong possibility. Temps should hover around freezing.
Camera is a given!0 -
"Fried" quinoa with roasted veggies. I'll be serving it this year for Thanksgiving. Cook quinoa according to the package directions. Once cooked, heat 1 tbsp olive oil or two, add quinoa, sea salt to taste, and "fry" until quinoa is a light golden to light brown. It will become very nutty and delicious. Add seasoned roasted veggies. Enjoy. (Plain quinoa can be a little boring, but toasting it brings it to another level.)0

Do they know you're walking? Perhaps just chips....light weight! Sometimes people forget about "snacky-type" things such as chips.. I think if I was hosting, I'd ask you not to bring anything since you were walking....but that's just me!0
