We finally broke in the new place! The weekend before Thanksgiving, we hosted ten for the Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Dinner. Apparently, Grant and his roommates in college took this dinner very seriously - one huge meal before everyone went home over the break. I made my first Turkey, with a little prep help from my mom that morning :), and as the pictures illustrate, we had a ton of food to plow through.
We had three separate counters of food. Relish trays, deviled eggs, cranberries, rolls, pumpkin cheesecake, cranberry/cream cheese dip...
Mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, turkey...
Sweet potatoes, grean bean caserole, wassail...
Joel carved our turkey and prepared the gravy from the drippings. ...You can just call him Betty Crocker. :)
Here's one table checkin out the Nebraska vs. K-State game that night. Notice the fine entertainment center! And I'm sure Grant will be disappointed to see how small the TV looks in this picture. No doubt we'll just have to buy another... Ha, we'll see...
