I've never been very good at math so that probably explains why I said I was cooking for 8 but the actual total was 11. Silly numbers.
Here's the buffet, I personally made the turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes (never tried the southern style before) mashed potatoes with sauteed onions, gravy and broccoli with queso sauce. Everything came out perfect and all at the same time. My only screw up (besides the counting blunder) was I forgot to put out the cranberry sauce. No one mentioned the omission so I think we'll all survive.
The Roommate was in charge of setting the table. And not burning the rolls, both of which he managed to do beautifully, with flair and grace.
Katie, Donna and Heather all made pumpkin pie, thank god too, because I am not that much of a baker. And the wine flowed, wii played and the evening ended in the hot tub. Needless to say, the holiday was a raving success.
Yesterday was spent on the couch, watching movies and eating left overs. Tomorrow I'll be making turkey soup, in honor of cold and flu season.

Looks like a nice event! I was in Joshua Tree eating leftovers from a restaurant take home box...
K spent Thanksgiving afternoon throwing up from the flu.
By Saturday, it was my turn.
Overall, I'd have rather been in Oregon.
