I love it! The only sure thing here is the pumpkin chiffon pie,
which my daughter has now dubbed "THE pie". I am trying to
convince her that an Asian variant on the traditional elements
(which she hates) would be good. A competing thought is that I
will make some of the elements ahead of time (including that James
Beard stuffing you have posted in the past) and then just buy a
bit of turkey, since my daughter won't eat it.

It's great to see you posting again, Carol.
