Thanksgiving

When my husband was alive to roast the turkey this is what we did. We ate in the basement recreation room on thr ping pong table. I bought paper plates and napkins, We used real silverware as it is hard to cut anything with plastic. I used a seasonal tablecloth--which is four yards of material. On Tuesday I fixed the potatoes and store them in the crockpot. Wednesday I baked the pies==3 pumpkin and one mincemeat,. Before we went to bed Ray fixed the turkey in a bag and put it in the oven. It comes on by a timer on the stove. At eleven with the oven available. I heat the oven and make pepperidge stuffing, I add some drippings from the turkey and lots of water. The group brings in things like Green bean casserole, corn casserole and yam casserole. Someone brings home made bread. Sally brungs Waldorf salad. We eat at 12 so about 11:45 we put on the Kraft dinner. We open the canned cranberry sauce and cut out little turkeys. We open the olives--both kinds. We open canned gravy and heat, We have the pie on paper plates and birthday cake as we have four birthdays. Sometimes we have wine if someone brings it. We have plastic sacks for everything but the silverware and serving dishes. Some times someone bring chocolates and we pass thay around.
