Stupid Guest Tricks

Pretty standard meal. It was at the outlaws this year. Nice enough folk, just not where I want to spend 6-8 hours. We brought a smiled turkey that was wonderful. The wife did cheesy potatoes, (funeral as they are called around here) and Apple crisp that was amazing. There ewe other pies that I tried, as well as stuffing that was great. All in all, the meal was wonderful, and I found the few people I like to visit with and stayed close to them. The fresh cranberry relish was good enough to eat by itself, which I did.

We actually did two -- one on Thanksgiving Day proper and one on Friday. Both were pretty traditional. My wife's family (Lithuanian roots) always does a noodle and sausage stuffing rather than a bread stuffing, so we look forward to that at Thanksgiving. We also made one of my favortie pies, a Pear Custard pie, so that was great, too. After that, turkey, corn cassarole, potatoes ( Sweet and russet), breaded brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and relish -- the usual.

I had a strip steak, mrs. ktulu had a puffed pastry filled with shrimp and scallops. Delicious cupcake with a pumpkin mousse filling, maple icing, and a chocolate covered bacon garnish. We followed it up with fireworks and more desserts. Great day!

At church yesterday we had a Thanksgiving Leftovers potluck. Saved me from having to pack a lunch! Still kind of miss having a turkey sandwich for a few days after, or making turkey soup, but sometimes it's okay to break out of a rut.

I requested to work Thanksgiving. Submitted my request 3 times as I knew they would deny me, DL hates to pay double holiday pay. My dept had a potluck on back patio - as usual. The Inn Between had a good Thanksgiving dinner....except they ran out of mashed potatoes just before I had dinner. I mean running out of mashed potatoes by 1900 on Thanksgiving is sacrilegious, or it should be. Yet, the story of my life.

When I get back to DL we're going to Story Teller's again. They'll have a pile of mashed potatoes.

hobie, I would LOVE Story Tellers with you again! Mashed potatoes, you, Disneymom and, how about ktulu too? You and ktulu would get along even better than mashed potatoes and butter.

We're gonna need a really big table.

Big table, no problem. I know people.
