Thanksgiving Begins and Ends

Thanksgiving has begun and the turkey usually takes center stage.

Here's our bird as I pulled it out of the oven a few minutes ago. I'll let it rest for a while before carving it but will cook the potatoes and veggies and other treats while waiting.

Marilyn made an apple walnut cake which will be available ala mode with vanilla ice cream or plain.

We had twelve family and friends and everyone enjoyed the delicious food and visiting. Scott's Anne made a delicious pecan pie and Scott made the coffee. Our adopted daughter Christine made yummy garlic rolls (knots), cranberry sauce, and chocolate walnut cookies, our daughter Lauren made the sweet potato casserole, my Dad and his lady friend, Ginger made the trifle and my sister and hubby brought the relish tray. Add some stuffing, peas, corn, creamy, tasty homemade gravy courtesy of Marilyn, mashed potatoes, crescent rolls, and a few other bits and pieces and we all once again, over indulged.
