I saw the neatest idea today for Thanksgiving.
Rather than serving the various dishes in your typical casserole's and serving dishes, go and buy a few different types of squash from the store. Hollow them out like you would a pumpkin at Halloween, but instead of carving into them after that, use them as serving dishes.
After the meal, you can keep them out in the yard for a couple days to attract birds to a quick & easy meal for them, then throw it away or add it to your compost pile.
You will have an interesting addition to your table, and fewer dishes to do after dinner!
