Fatten up for the Feast

Ok, let's move the conversation on from my showering habits . . .

This weekend we had our first annual (bi-annual?, decadely?, and only?, only time will tell) "Fatten up for the Feast". The idea is that if Thanksgiving dinner is so good, we should have it more often. So we had some friends over and Shannon and I whipped up a big turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, corn, pink stuff, gravy and pie. Our friends provided rolls and more pie.

Things turned out pretty darn well. The bird was not quite as thawed out as it could have been, but it was close enough; mostly it was that the end of the neck was still ice-bonded to the rest of the turkey and didn't want to come out. We aimed for a 6:00pm meal, and actually started a 6:09. That might be a new world record!

The food was good, and, more importantly, we've got a whole pile of leftovers! If we were picture taking folk, we would have taken pictures which we could then post on our blog. But, instead, all you get is my lovely descriptions, which apparently count for 0.196 pictures.

0.196 pictures? How so?

Melissa said...

Because there are 196 words?

Surely we're all familiar with the 1:1000 conversion ratio between pictures and words.

It was an excellent meal, great company and a really good time. Thanks for including us in your circle of friends.
