Here we go again!
Yesterday with the in-laws, we had a turkey, a really spammy looking and tasting ham (according to husband), macaroni salad (didn't try this - not my fav), green salad, stuffing, creamed cucumbers (this I do like), corn, rolls, "homemade" lasagna (courtesy of brother in law#1's restaurant -- actually his mom's recipe, and pretty tasty), mashed potatoes (which were more like glue since sister in law#1 beats the living daylights out of them), nut horns (some type of cream cheese and walnut cookie -- very fattening but very irresistible), cherry and apple pies, various wines (which only four of us drank), coffee with Bailey's (only I seemed to enjoy this).
Today was just my little family and my uncle, his wife and their son. I served a spiral cut/glazed ham, minted peas (first try at this recipe -- includes green onions, fresh mint and rosemary, all from my garden), mashed potatoes (and they were properly mashed, not whipped into submission), sweet potato cashew casserole (with sliced peaches, ginger and brown sugar, except I forgot the cashews!), rolls, tossed greens with cranberries and candied pecans, rolls, and sparkling apple cider, with pumpkin pie for dessert. Oh, and my uncle's wife brought some yummy Vietnamese beef soup -- it was sweet, with carrots and onions -- very good!
