THEY DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!
The table was set and ready for our family
Thanksgiving gathering early yesterday
afternoon. It looked like a scene out of one
of those fancy magazines. The plates were
all in place and the silverware all set out.
Soon they would be flanked with platters
filled with turkey, ham, potatoes, beans,
stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, and other
goodies too numerous to mention.
The main courses arrived separately.
A Turkey weighing in an just under 30 lbs.
and a Ham checking in at just about 20!
Growing up back in a time when all
kids were admonished to clean their plates
because "little children in Europe were
starving," I suspect our bounty could have
handled at least one small town over there!
The attack was swift. Just after grace
the goods were passed around the table as
we all dug in! Within a half hour or so it
became apparent there was just more food
than our squad of 16 could handle. (We
did all save a bit of space for dessert!)
But the family women, having
envisioned this scenario, brought along
containers of all sorts and sizes so the
plentiful supply of leftovers could be
sealed up to feed the guests for the next
week of so! Europe will have to take care
of itself!
Hope one of those containers has
pie and that all your NEWS is good!
