Happy Thanksgiving. :)

Nup. Just them and the Baptists.:D


(inside joke) :rofl:

Thank you...
Yum
Turkey with 23 of us

3 & 1/2 hrs is not enough time to talk to 23 people
:line: :line: :line: :line:
Note almost 5 hrs later, and still no signs of hunger

P.S. ... Why you guys so slow anyhow?
...November, that's winter

You want details?

I probably shoudn't
Don't want to torture you all...
I mean you down south have to wait what?, over a month?

Well here it is...


Turkey Turkey Turkey

When 23 members of the family get together for a family 'pot-luck' thanksgiving dinner
There is one heck of a lot of food
Should I try to recount it?

I missed the beginning, I arrived late (work $#%)
but I was saved a slice of homemade pizza with home grown (No not that...) tomatoes

Let see what was first?
Oh Yeah The Feast...

Turkey A huge one carved by my Cuz
Gravy of course
Tasty Stuffing
Killer Scallop potatoes
3-4 different colors of carrots yum
Tasty Red cabbage (nice little raspberry zing to it...)
I made some Cranberry sauce
(yes I know huge contribution for a chef, but there was more...)

Then was my big course
Salad!!!
Went to the market this morning...
I got three different kinds of salad,
Arugula picked fresh this morning (this morning was warmer than the current 36 F)
Some supper delicious cherry tomatoes (3 kinds), and Peach tomatoes
And with all that I decided a simple Balsamic & Good Olive Oil would be a fine complement

Then...
Well the term Cheese plate, or Cheese plates (3) just don't quite do it justice
We had enough cheese for 2-3 times as many of us
But No Need to skim here We Love the Cheese
(besides too much ain't so bad... I came home with a nice piece of the two best ones !!!)

So by the way I was hugely stuffed after the first huge main course...
so now, two courses later,
The mention of the word Dessert
Brought fear to me
But I quickly came back to my senses...
I'm fine I can do it
Well I only tasted 3 of the 4 options...
Pecan Pie, I love pecan pie so much...
Pumpkin pie (got to do the traditional rout e too...)
And a killer 3 chocolate Chocolate cake
I couldn't face the apple pie
(come on now, my stomach is still achingly full...)

All in all
Too much food
and too many folks to talk to

Oh by the way

Sorry I wasn't here for the weekend to wish our northern neighbors a Happy Thanksgiving, but a belated good wish for you is certainly in order.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Yummmmm!!!

GreenChef, sounds great!


Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all who celebrated it this weekend. :)
