I am meeting up with some friends tomorrow for dinner and we are all going to bring a couple of dishes for the dinner. Any ideas for dishes? I am looking for something simple that can reheat well or that I can prepare and just cook there. Didn't someone mention bourbon stuffing on some other thread?
What ever you suggest, please give some instructions on how to prepare/cook it. Thanks!

One of the side dishes that I always make (not just for Thanksgiving, either) is candied carrots.
Just precook the carrots until they soften but not mushy. Then put them into a pan with some butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of rum. Just a splash, so you don't overpower it. I use Meyers dark rum. Stir frequently until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and hot.

On a serious note. Buy red potatoes, quarter them, put them into a gallon ziplock bag, add a small amount of cooking oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and any other spices you want. Season to taste basically. You can take these to where you are eating and cook them there. Cook in the oven on 350 or so until done to your preference it should take about 30 - 40 minutes to cook them. Bring a dish to cook and serve them in just in case they don't have enough.

No White Castle out here, otherwise it would be sliders all around.
I think I am going with baked potato casserole. dice potatos and boil until cooked, then sautee them in butter and garlic and toss them into a dish with all the other ingredients. Top with chesse and put it in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Get around 50 ketchup packets. Open them and put them in a bowl, serve the ketchup with a spoon. Your welcome.

Butternut squash soup can be made earlier and holds up pretty well. If you don't want to deal with chopping up the squash, I know you can buy pre-cut pieces at must supermarkets. I would suggest roasting the squash for about 30 minutes or so. Then combine with some chicken or vegetable stock (one can or box should suffice, depending on how much you are looking to make and how thick or thin a soup you are looking for) and blend in the pot using a stick blender (keeping everything on low heat), or blend in a regular blender and then heat. Season with cinnamon, ginger, salt, pepper, etc.
You can easily make this ahead of time and reheat later.

1 can of Cream Corn per (2) people
1/4 cup butter
1/4 sugar
1 egg
Dried toast or croutons seasoned that would equal 1 slice of toast cut into
Salt, peper and garlic powder ( to your taste)
Mix together in bowl pour into a baking dish 2" inch sides ....leave about 1/2 or more to the top of dish
Bake without a cover @ 400 degree, (1) one hour
Let cool, cover, keep in the frig. .... reheat with cover on ....20 to 30 minutes ....
Or one pack of cranberries 16 oz
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
makes about 4 cups of cranberries dish
Bring water and sugar to a boil add cranberries ..mix until all berries pop (about 5 minutes)
just before pouring into a dish ( I like to use a meat loaf type dish with high side so the mixture of cranberries will gel and form a loaf like dish)
add some walnuts and or small pieces of oranges
let cool, cover, frig....serve cold...

This would be great, except my hatred for ketchup is legendary.
