Shopping at Costo pre-thanksgiving, my sweetie picked up a 2qt tub of
sour cream- anybody have a recipe or something to use this up before it
goes green on me?

Well, I went to the Florilegium and plugged in "sour cream" into the search engine since I wanted recipes using sour cream instead of information about sour cream. If you want the latter, see the dairy-prod-msg file. Here are a few:
meatloaf-msg      (16K)  4/ 8/02    Period meatloaf-like recipes.
Blood-Soup-art    (12K) 12/26/00    "Polish Black Soup - Czarnina" by Casamira 
                                       Jawjalny, O.L.
If you have some horse meat, it is used in at least one of the recipes in the horse-meat-msg file.
gazpacho-msg       (8K)  7/30/01    A soup or sauce of vinegar, garlic and bread
...Savanyu Vetrece (Sour Vetrece) which is beef in a sour cream and vinegar sauce... which can be found in this file:

saures Kraut mit saurem Raum und Butter (Sauerkraut with Sour Cream and
Butter)

1 lb sauerkraut, rinsed well and drained
1/2 stick butter
1 cup sour cream

Put sauerkraut in a medium pan. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cover pan
with a tight fitting lid. Reduce heat to simmer and continue cooking for 20
mins. Reserving liquid, drain kraut.

Return kraut to pan. Add 1/2 the reserved liquid. On low heat, add butter in
small chunks stirring after each addition until melted. Repeat until all the
butter has been incorporated into the kraut. Mix sour cream into buttered
kraut. Immediately remove from heat and serve.

Found it... <blush> Seems I had it on file and actually have cooked such a dish. 
I can't say it's period or from period sources, but here's what we eat around 
here. 

Lokshen Kugel 

8 0z Broad noodles 
1 cup raisins 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
2 tablespoons sugar 
1/4 cup butter, melted 
1 cup ricotta 
1 egg. slightly beaten 
2 teaspoons cinnamon 
3/4 cup sour cream 

preheat oven to 350 
cook the noodles al dente, drain. Stir in remaining ingredents reservuing half 
the melted butter. Place in a greased casserole and pour over the remaining 
melted butter. Bake uncovered for one hour. 

Actually, it would be less if it were a gas oven.. the top was a BIT too 
crunchy when we tried it with gas. The second time I did this, I substituted 
chooped apples and added more cinnamon. that was good too. Hope this helps.

There is a fish sauce using sour cream in the fish-msg file.

And a rabbit dish in the rabbit-dishes-msg file that uses sour cream to cook the rabbit in.

I hope these give you some ideas.
