Tomorrow is the holiday off work, but we generally have our big celebration on the Sunday evening.<br /><br />I hosted Main Man's mom, his brother and sister-in-law, their two sons, and our sister-in-law's mom. It wasn't really a houseful, but it was as big a houseful as we're accustomed to.<br /><br />I served turkey (of course!), stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams with orange juice, tarragon carrots, a corn dish I make with sweet peppers, maple squash, home-baked bread and corn muffins, and spring salad mix with red and green onions and peppers and a raspberry vinaigrette. My sister-in-law and her mom brought dessert - pumpkin pie and cherry tarts. The whole meal was a roaring success. We have leftovers galore, so it looks like my diet is not going to start again for at least a few more days.<br /><br />Much of the clean-up is now finished, although I must admit that I'm hitting the hay with still a few dirty wine glasses on the counter beside the sink and a couple of stubborn pots and pans soaking in the sink.<br /><br />Main Man and I worked as quite the team today. We really do have massive amounts of abundance to be thankful for.Library Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07175070463632523228noreply@blogger.com
