Thanksgiving is gone but the leftovers are not
I wouldn't say our Thanksgiving went off without a hitch but I think it was a pretty smooth ride. It took a little while longer to get the turkey in the oven than we had anticipated which turned out ok because Steph and Linda were also running a little behind too. The group agreed that Catarina's candied yam recipe was amazing. Linda stuffing was delicious, really delicious. And I can't say enough about Steph's filling. I could have just eaten that. Matt's turkey got rave reviews. There was so much food. S&L also made a veggie platter, brussel sprouts, and green beans. We all ate way too much and then lazed on the couches and watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, ordered special from netflix since Matt had never seen it. Before we got to taste the apple pie, which was pretty beautiful, Zelda managed to pull the pie off the table. Luckily the pie tin landed on the bottom corner so the pie wasn't ruined, just smooshed. So it became more of a apple crumble than a pie. I guess she figured that since we had allowed her some turkey with her dinner she would just serve her own pie. The pie was delicious, crumbled or not, and the ice cream was fantastic. The pumpkin pie was also wonderful and so was the cheesecake that Linda made. At one point, Linda fell alseep on the futon and Zelda mirrored her position and fell asleep too. As you would expect, we had a lot of leftovers. I love Thanksgiving leftovers, I could eat them for weeks if I could. As it is we had them at least one meal every day since Thursday. I wish there were more, but we're slowly running out of them, dish by dish. Now we're starting to gear up for Christmas.
