ReplyDeleteWe had a fairly typical turkey dinner spread, including the 7-layer salad of which I only like 6 layers.
ReplyDeleteGot to take some turkey home for sammiches, best thing ever.

{{burp}} Wonderful. (Was that perchance wild rice from your Uncle Paul?) We had very similar fare, but with my corn pudding and only one pie (pecan - Cousin Mary's is unequalled). It was lovely, your Uncle Paul's gravy was STELLAR, his stuffing was also very nice! I polished off some leftovers as "Hot Turkey Sandwiches", one of my favorite things in the world. (When you order it in a place called "EAT!" it's more modest; mine were SWIMMING in gravy and served with 1/2...no, no. 1/3...oh heck - a great DEAL of cranberry sauce.) And we had the Usual Family Carping: Ben wanted all the crust from the corn pudding (Mary and Gabe point out, enthusiastically, why he can't - followed by all three trying to talk me into making the stuff on a cookie sheet so there's nothing BUT crust; Gabe took the huge bowl of wild rice & sausage and looked around wide-eyed saying "So...where's all o' YOUR wild rice?" and there was the usual argument over the Foods They Hated as Children (which I, of course, remember their eating prodigious amounts of). Pretty nice day here, all in all.
ReplyDeleteAnd please tell Uncle Kevin & Aunt Linda and your cousins - a belated Happy Thanksgiving from us! (We also point out, annually, that - had it not been for the Wampanoag the scrawny Brits would've starved to death before they ever got to Thanksgiving, so there!)
