One of life’s great joys is the leftovers from Thanksgiving Dinner! There’s such pleasure in revisiting all the delicious flavors…

Ours started with Turkey Sandwiches with mayo, stuffing, and cranberry sauce for lunch – usually on squishy white bread but it’s something we don’t usually buy and neither of us wanted to go to the store.

I didn’t get a picture because I was too busy shoving it into my mouth.

Then, it was a Hot Turkey Sandwich for dinner. We both came close to licking our plates, but we had to save room for Pumpkin Pie with freshly whipped cream.

I’m stuffed, again, just typing this.

The Main Event was at Phoebe and Nancy’s – 15 chronological adults, 2 three year olds, and a 7 month old 65 pound Golden Retriever puppy. Everyone contributed to the meal – it takes a village to feed this group.

If you’re thinking that it was a lot of food for 15 chronological adults and 2 three year olds – Hank, the Golden Retriever puppy, doesn’t get people food – you would be correct. It was a massive amount. But that’s why one brings tupperware and ziplock bags – The Leftovers!!!

I did manage some pictures of the food on my phone, but I took them too quickly and I really didn’t do justice to them.

Just envision a Norman Rockwell scene…

That was us.
