There was enough food for a couple of dozen people, so the seven of us were able to exchange leftovers, even considering the three special diets. (The wine went back to Ohio unopened, since my friend failed to remember that I'm allergic to it and so don't have a corkscrew.)solarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487713068002286095.post-68259865019790573452009-11-28T18:55:29.185-05:002009-11-28T18:55:29.185-05:00We only had FOUR people for dinner this year.

And the lovely AC made the mashed potatoes! (I'm sorry we didn't make it to KY; we're going after the first of the year. They're having Thanksgiving all together down there today at the farm.)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785796365378274088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487713068002286095.post-42303662931361018652009-11-28T17:49:16.937-05:002009-11-28T17:49:16.937-05:00Thank you for coming by my blog today and commenti...Thank you for coming by my blog today and commenting on the 'giveaway' post!

This year it was 25 people! I wouldn't have it any other way. We all pitch in and everyone brings a dish and I help my Mum and we all spend the day prepping and then eating and talking with friends.<br />In my mind, if you don't want to cook dinner, don't...it doesn't have to be fancy. It's more about the getting together to visit part than the feasting part. I think it's the striving for perfection that gets us down at holidays...Geosominhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729167937433295927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487713068002286095.post-91644218767891149382009-11-26T09:01:45.263-05:002009-11-26T09:01:45.263-05:00OOPS!

I never had to deal with trying to cook in anything but an electric oven (thank heavens), but my MIL didn't have any of these modern conveniences until sometime in the 1970's, so I've heard lots of stories about it!<br /><br />We are so lucky to be living in these times.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Mary Ann.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.com
