27. You gotta make a plan!

The chewy/crunchy ends of the roast are the best. The corners of the casseroles too. As soon as that "amen" sounds, grubby little hands are reaching for serving forks and spoons and sporks and I gotta weigh the dishes in order of my preference. I might get to two things but I won't to 3 things first (depending on what's at my end of the table) so I gotta prioritize! lol

Occasionally I can deflect a nearby diner with similar tastes by having the bread basket ready to pass. While they are looking over the homemade biscuits, rolls and cornbread I can get to the part of the green bean casserole with the most crunchy onions.
