"... 9 cans of Spam and make a Spam turkey ..."

I have a granddaughter that has a Thanksgiving birthday. The last time it hit on Thanksgiving Day proper (2017), I baked her this turkey birthday cake. We gobbled it up! 😃

Just a fun question, but what's everyone's plans for Thanksgiving? Any fun or unique recipes you'd like to share? (I'm excited for the holiday 😂 )
I don't know that anything I make is unique. But here is the menu for Thanksgiving Dinner, if anyone wants more details about any of it, just ask. I'm willing to share.
Turkey [cooked in a roaster with bacon, butter & garlic]
Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes
Gravy
Candied Carrots
Cold Corn Salad
Fruit Salad
Pumpkin Pie
Banana Pudding Dessert
There is only 4 of us this year, which is very small, so I downsized the menu. I would normally make a Green Bean casserole [with my own little twist] and a fantastic cornbread stuffing that is my personal favorite, but unfortunately not for my kids.
@mam98031 You've got my mouth watering. That sounds wonderful! I especially love banana pudding ❤️ I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving. I e-mailed sdsupport with this question and they told me I had to call Customer Service to ask. I think every single person knows that CS can't answer a question like this, so I'm asking here (and sure you'll be going right back to the structured data team to get the answer).
Regarding recommended item specifics-
When I check this box "Don't remind me about these recommendations again" on the recommended item specifics pop-up edit window- does that remove the listing from appearing permanently or does it remove it only until recommended item specifics change again?
For example- I check the box and the listing is removed from the list. Two months later eBay adds a new recommended item specific for that category. Will the listing reappear on the list to alert me, or will it stay hidden from the list?
@coffeebean832 I've never really considered this before. I could take a guess but I'd like to get a definitive answer, so you're right that I'll need to reach out to the team on this one and get back to you.

Since I'll be alone this year, I'm roasting two miniature turkeys (aka Cornish Game Hens), with all the traditional trimmings: mashed potatoes, candied yams, stuffing, roasted green beans (not that icky mushroom soup casserole) and pumpkin pie. I got two of those little "individual" pie plates by Emil Henry for the pies. Each pie plate will probably make a couple of servings
Then I'll watch everyone's traditional Thanksgiving movie, "The Accidental Tourist."
Then I'll eat the same meal's leftovers again on Saturday or Sunday.
Voila! Done! Another Thanksgiving in the books!
I'm not a fan of the traditional green bean casserole either. I absolutely hate cream of mushroom soup. What I do is use Cream of Celery soup, some fresh garlic, French's fried onions, fresh bacon bits and add a generous cup of medium cheddar cheese. Mix and bake. It is a lot different than the traditional recipe tastes. It is fresher and not so thick tasting to me.

@coffeebean832 actually I should clarify, is this option in Seller Hub or in the Sell Your Item flow? That will help me know which team I need to reach out. Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Rum cake is my special addition to the festivities. There's an "office friendly" version for the company party and the real one for home. 😉
@gracieallen01 That's fair! I'm pretty amazed with the thought either way. I love food that has a tradition behind it.

OMG that looks so YUMMY! And I'm not a rum fan, but I sure would eat that.
