Crudites / relish tray
Welsh Rarebit
Mushrooms with sausage stuffing
Pumpkin Soup with Molasses cream
Squash with fruit stuffing (dates, walnuts, figs, raisins, apples, cranberries)
Chuck pretending to be a Warner Brothers Cartoon Headhunter with a leftover stuffed squash.
Turkey and Ham with Fixings: green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, yams with brown sugar, oyster stuffing, orange pineapple jello mold, Watergate Salad (complete with copy of Alice's Restaurant), potato rolls, biscuits...
Dessert: Pies, pies and more pies. I had a bit of cherry cheesecake that someone had brought along.
Washed it all down with some of this. It's not really good wine, and one seldom is able to manage more than a few sips, but am such a sucker for the posters announcing its arrival every year.
The label's particularly pretty this year.
There were plenty of breaks for naps, conversation and keeping up dishes (a necessity, as Shanna's kitchen is pretty small). Chuck and I also got into running around the house in between courses. Don't know that any amount of exercise or pacing would have saved us from feeling like just-fed boas afterwards, though.
