You noticed that little detail! She made the rolls (ahead of time) and the mashed potatoes (that morning). It doesn't sound like much but believe me, there was a mountain of mashed potatoes and a mountain of rolls...it took 12 cups of flour to make those rolls!! The two boys "helped" and grandma cleaned up afterwards. Grandma also cooked and brought all the other food and took most of the leftovers and serving plates back again to her own house!! I think she bought that faucet and installed it herself.
At least you didn't have to do it with a baby strapped at your front. Hopefully! So she did have lots of help; you were bearing the brunt of the work. Chapeau, grandma
Earlier today I swore I would never eat again but now I'd like to have a mimosa, then the ice-cream and cheesecake. I'd skip the rest due to a now minor case of food-coma from earlier today.
What lovely Thanksgivings you all had, and no stinting on the food! Happy belated greetings to all! Here's the setup at our apartment, which many Brokies have passed through. I think the tulips made it fab. Those are chocolate pilgrim favors on the napkins. On the menu: Blood orange mimosas, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, cauliflower au gratin, Brussels sprouts with butternut squash, cranberry sauce with golden raisins and pecans, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, apple pie with salted caramel ice cream and chocolate chip cheesecake. Glorious!
