Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

I signed in earlier intending to chat a bit but a boiling over pot spoiled that plan and I never got back

But in the end the mashed potatoes and mushrooms were made ensconced in their Corningware serving dishes and transported to the dinner on time, and were successes

And I am glad we invested in a glass top cookstove

DR elmore I am glad you had a good time.

We arrived and for once dinner was ready to be served when we arrived, instead of 2 hours of appetizers

Yes, it is much easier to clean. We have gas now which is also great but I have to remember to be very careful.

It was quite nice eating dinner on an empty stomach

My mashed and mushrooms

My SILs yams... she bakes them then halves them removes them from their jackets and brushes them with maple syrup and melted butter and bakes them...

Stuffing with cranberries

vixmom · « **Reply #107 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:20:02 PM »

Cranberry sauce

vixmom · « **Reply #108 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:23:23 PM »

It was the canned jelled stuff which is ok but I missed my SIL’s sisters homemade cranberry sauce with oranges

vixmom · « **Reply #109 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:24:46 PM »

I know she’s very proud of it so I mentioned missing it this year and she said her mom told her not to bring it because “everyone prefers the canned stuff”

vixmom · « **Reply #110 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:25:21 PM »

I told her that her Mom was mistaken and she was quite pleased and promised to bring it next year

vixmom · « **Reply #111 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:31:57 PM »

Green bean casserole, gravy, corn, rolls and spanakopita

The raspberry peach pie never was cut so mySIL sent it back with us

vixmom · « **Reply #113 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:37:26 PM »

We binged on tres Leche cake, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and ice cream, chocolate pudding and whipped cream

vixmom · « **Reply #114 on:** November 28, 2019, 06:40:21 PM »

The two bottles of blueberry wine we brought were drained
