Thanksgivng Dinner

Dinner was a success. We were shy one person who couldn't make it, my son's girlfriend's little girl. Still there was plenty of room for everyone and the food too, which I now need to clean up and figure out where I'm going to put it all. I have a LOT of leftovers. The table I got had more than enough room. Now everyone is gone and I'm left with the cleanup, but that won't take long other than figuring out what I'm going to do with the food. I used paper plates, so that will cut down on the dishwasher action, which has already seen action today as I was getting everything ready. Now I just want to kick back and relax after this long day. Everything worked out perfect. At least I won't need to worry about what I'm eating for the next few days. How was your day? Thanks for reading.

I'm happy your day was a success and judging by the lovely photo, you certainly had plenty of food. Glad you won't have to cook for a few days!

No, the only thing I'm doing is warming up the leftovers in the microwave.

I am sooo glad it was a success! :D We use paper plates for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, so we don't have as much to wash later. I know you told me you were able to get everything put away, so I'm glad for that too. :)

Thank you. The cleanup was a breeze. Once I had all the dishes in the dishwasher and the garbage out, you wouldn't know there was a big dinner here.

@Jessicalynnt I'm still eating leftovers. Though some are finished like the mashed potatoes and I have one more slice of pie, so that will be history tonight. I'm about finished with the turkey and thinking of just throwing the rest out. It's all white meat anyway and I'm a dark meat person.

Would you believe I forgot to put the stuffing on the table? I didn't even get it out of the bird. It was still in the pan when I went to clean up last night. I had some this morning and it was delicious with gravy, also in the pan when I took care of it last night.

That sounds like a wonderful day. It will be quite good to have leftovers I would think. I always like them myself.

Thanks for asking - my day was BUSY - leftovers are great for days where no-one is with you to have a meal.
