Thanks Debbie for this!

 

Yesterday was a busy cooking eating day. I hope everyone had an enjoyable one. I went to Jean's for dinner. She made turkey, stuffing, frozen cranberry Jell-o salad, gravy,pumpkin pies, apple pie. Jen made mashed potatoes and yams. I made deviled eggs (three flavors.. regular, parmesan, and bacon), french cut green beans with Rotel tomatoes, and a panko crust, and cheesecake. STUFFED! There were 12 of us.... Jen's friend Sandy (from So Cal), her husband John, Jake and Paige and their dog Zöe (soooo sweet). Jen's cousins Marie and Don. Brian, Jen, Tucker, Sami, and Jean and I.
