Nov 2013

Turkey
Ham
Cornbread and Sausage dressing
Sweet Potatoes
Mashed Potatoes
Gravy from drippings
Relish Tray
3 different types of veggies
Cranberry Sauce which, for some reason, turned out runny this year
Deviled Eggs

Wednesday I made the pies:
Butternut Squash Pie (better than Pumpkin and much cheaper)
Chocolate Pie
Minced Meat Pie
Peach Pie (made from white peaches I canned this summer)

There were only five of us this year but everyone ate until they were stuffed. I bought some Styrofoam take-out containers so everyone could take some home and eat leftovers as we will be doing for the next couple of days.
