I just want you all to know that I had a large serving spoon full of some kind of cranberry stuff and I'm pretty sure it had marshmellows in it. Also, I put it on my plate in the spot where my mashed potatoes had, until recently, taken up residence. There was some gravy left on the plate, and I put the marshmellow cranberry stuff right down on it and then I ate it. And it was good.

We went to a new place here in FL-they had a buffet-turkey, ham and beef. It was good-real mashed potatos too! Only down side was the cornbread stuffing. For some reason they put in hot peppers, :eek:.

Son reported in, they were cooking for DIL's relatives. Son whipped up real gravy instead of the stuff with hardboiled eggs in it that her family does in AL-hardboiled eggs--EWWWW!!! DIL made my scalloped corn recipe, doubled it, but forgot to double the crackers that go in it to bind it together. :lol:

What are you using them for? <<<drool>>>

I made a spinach salad with a homemade balsamic dressing. The salad also contained sliced pear, cranberries, red onion and chopped toasted hazelnuts. It was my attempt to add something a bit lighter to the meal. ;)

The almonds topped roasted yams.

We survived cooking for 14 and somehow managed to fit everyone in the house. :) My mother in law was a tremendous help, as was my husband. We made a good team.

Just catching up on this thread. :)

Well done Kaffy for hosting so many people!!


I spent my first ever TG (my hubby's 7th!!) with UK-US friends who live in Ventura.

It was fabulous, and the deep-fried turkey was to-die for!!!

18 pound turkey was fantastic....thank god it's over with though :D

Only kicker, apart from the obligatory boiled to death veg was the gravy, the old dear grabbed the baking soda instead of the corn starch....made for a bubbly and gross gravy.

Oh well. Nice break and it was good having the wee one playing with the olds for a few day.

Glad to be back home though.
