Sean reports...

Well, I know you all are wondering how the McFreeds made out on Thanksgiving!  Well it was a large yet dramaless affair mainly... which is a great thing!  I mean there were pretty much 30 people there or more at Stefan's family feast, so the occasion was pregnant wiht possibilities.  All we know at this time (a Stefan idiom) is that we both need to start toning up this winter so we don't get too fat!  It was great seeing all of Stef's family and enjoying the hospitality his cousin Brian and his wife Sandy's home. We brought a bunch of things. It was fun cooking with Stef although I was a little stressed about getting there on time and getting the food in the door. However, the day was fun and it was a great time!

Here is what we brought for dinner: homemade orzo salad, sweet potatoes with a pecan/brown sugar topping, pumpkin pie with a cranberry/pecan/almond biscotti topping, berry Jello, green bean casserole, brussel sprouts, and Stef's grandmother's chip dip. We also store bought a mince meat pie, two loaves of cranberry walnut bread, and coconut dates. Two bottle of wine were bought but Stef's family rarely drinks so only one bottle really was opened.

Wish we caught some pictures of it all but even though we brought our camera we never used it... sigh.

So in the end it was all yummy and filling. Hope yours was too!

The McFreeds say...

What's for dinner?

Happy Thanksgiving to all our family and our greater family of friends... especially the new ones! Hope you get a taste of some great food and have little drama this fully belly holiday!

We are headed over to Stefan's cousin Brian's home to spend Turkey Day with 30 or so relatives!

More Turkey Day tales later!

A Big Hug to you all! You will be in our hearts today!
