We are so truly blessed in our household—we had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch with friends Terry and Jill, Kerri and James and Jeane and Steve. And with family, Nat. My guest list fluctuated greatly before today—Lonn and LoraLee were able to go to Miles City for Thanksgiving at Katie and Michael’s—Katie’s first time to cook a turkey—I’m anxious to hear how it went! Jill and Terry have always wanted to come to our house for Thanksgiving but family kept them occupied in past years—it worked out at the last minute this year that they were able to come. Gwen and Arch frequently are here but had family this year.
I forgot to take photos of my beautiful table and of the awesome array of food! Jill brought delicious appetizers and Jeane provided a homemade green bean casserole that put the cream of mushroom soup one to shame. We had sweet potatoes with praline topping and I think that southern speaking James ate 2 pounds of sweet potatoes all by himself—he really enjoyed those potatoes! The turkey breasts turned out perfectly, garlic mashed potatoes—even my gravy was good (I’m not a very good gravy maker).
And, those Costco pies were enjoyed by all—you just can’t beat those great tasting, BIG pies for $6.00!!! It was just a special day, we are so glad our friends and family could join us this year.
Talked to all the family back in Arkansas where they too enjoyed a delicious feast.
We hope all our friends and family had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
glad you holiday feast went well!!!..now it's time to sit back and relax..at least until tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the green bean cassarole recipe. That was my contribution to the family gathering today, but my husband doesn't care for "mushroom anything" so he didn't eat it. :(
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Thanksgiving.
