We defrosted, chopped, boiled, whipped, & fried. Kids ran through the house screaming and Graham entertained them on the tramp. Phil and Angie came and brought armloads of carb & butter ladden goodness. From their monkey bread to Ethel's chocolate dessert. Yum, I think I'm gaining weight writing about it all. The highlight of the day was the fried turkey. Mmmm, mmmm. Trav and Graham manned the turkey pot outside while my lovely Head Kitchen Assistant, Michelle, worked magic with her "fruit salad" (which we need a name for). Lily was like the assistant to the assistant, pulling the chair over for every new dish that we started to prepare. The table was pretty with fresh fall leaves, pinecones and my handmade paper runner. (What do you think of my grocery bags now Graham???) My decorations were under $15 total, I'm good, very good. Finally, we ate and now we are regretting all our extra servings. We all have so much to be grateful for, but mostly one another.
