The new day began with stuffing
and a lot of turkey motion
with the ever present fruit
as stuffing was served
and macaroni and cheese was rescued
at which point Jane
and Scott appeared
onions were sliced
seeds were dried
and the turkey
minus a few parts
was going through final prep
as mustard was presented
and the final turkey
along with final condiments
was getting ready for the oven
as pepper
and vinegars
and spices
still had to go into the sink
with the turkey
as it made its way through final prep
out of the sink
into the next stage
past the seeds
and gently prepared
so that it could be loaded into the oven
and appropriately placed.
That task completed, work could begin
for the second turkey (actually a breast)
and various of the side dishes could come together
|
before it was time to revisit the oven for all manner of activities
|
before Ben appeared
and the turkey work was completed (for this stage)
so that we could turn attention to the cheese on broccoli
with a turkey interlude
before final prep
and remaining cheese
and high speed bread toasting
as Justin arrived
cheeses were arranged
dried apricots appeared
and then it was time for further turkey basting.
|
At this point, there were 2 activities of interest which interleave below
the prepsration of the vegetable turkey
and the interaction with the real turkey
as the table was set
and here was the vegetable turkey
and the real turkey (with thermometer)
and the vegetable growing
and the real cooking
and this alternation
was interupted as the cheese was prepared
the vegetable turkey was put to rest
football was turned on
the real turkey was near ready
and the guests -- Dick and Fran
Michelle and Mackenzie
Jason
and the Megary's arrived.
The food continued to grow and amuse
|
as the women posed in front of the wall
and the turkey was sliced and disassembled
before we all were seated for the meal
|
and these were some of the plates people enjoyed
before we did the Hannukah thing.
