Another fine mess I've gotten into
Well Thanksgiving is two weeks away. Droopy and I got into a conversation about it, and we decided let's have a multi family dinner. Big Red's family will be joining us along with Droopy's family. It should be interesting. I will be making the turkey, rolls, pies, and stuffing. Also making a green bean casserole, and yams. Goof isn't too sure about her sweet potato casserole. He wasn't wild about the last get together where she made a bastardized Bulgogi. She didn't get the rice fully cooked, so he's biased after that first meal. I'm sure she will be fine, but then again she doesn't cook that much. I don't make fancy multi course meals, but I do try and cook every day. I'm a little too Bree VanDeCamp in my quest to have proper serving dishes and enough serving utensils. I guess she's more comfortable with a relaxed serving attitude. She's thinking paper plates, and plastic utensils, disposable foil pans and such. But then she thinks my roasting pan isn't big enough for a 22lb bird. Yea, it is. I've done it before and it does fit. I think the plan is to agree to disagree about certain things. She believes her sweet potato casserole is the best thing there is. Alright, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Because we like our green bean casseroles different, she will make hers, and I will make mine. The potatoes we can agree on, and we will be using the kitchenaid to mix up about 15lbs of potatoes. Did I mention it will be 12 people, but with the appetite of 20? It's gonna be interesting. Of course we are going to do it in my house. I've got the biggest between the 3 of us. The kids will eat in the living room and the adults in the dining room. Now I need more chairs.
