Dinner didn’t come off quite as planned because some of the food was late; the traditional green bean casserole that seems so vile to me as well as yams and the classic southern green, collards. We present decided to just go ahead with what was on hand as we had more than enough food and there was no ETA for the other guests.

So we sat down to mountains of ham and perfectly cooked turkey and gallons of savoury mashed potatoes and incredible yeasty rolls and salad and deviled eggs and both jellied and whole cranberry sauce and gravies and stuffing… Oh, and did I mention there was pumpkin pie for dessert?

I love leftovers.
