Traditional or not...

I am contemplating doing something really wild for Thanksgiving this year...we like to mix it up and sometimes do a big beautiful salmon or a juicy prime rib for the meal, sometimes its traditional and sometimes not but this year I've got a bee in my bonnet to do a German Feast for our Thanksgiving dinner...
Spaetzel with Brown Gravy and Wienerschnitzel...hot German Potato Salad...and a German Cheesecake!
Now to discuss it with my mother in law...
