Down Home Kitchen

   As you can tell this is all that’s left of my pecan pie……..I know that if I get a taste of it I will have to eat one………maybe two pieces….

There’s another story to this as well………….the evening I was baking the pies……….sad but true,……..I dropped one as I was taking it out of the oven…….right in the floor………so, I only had one left……..talking about a few choice words……..I was so mad……….and my feelings were hurt……because my spouse laughed at me………….then I was really mad…… 

Well, as you can tell ………there was plenty of food…..  ….front and center was my dressing……..right next to it on the right sliced turkey and then just to the right of the turkey, Mom’s sliced ham……..above the dressing…….is green onions…..the creamed potatoes and to the right of them is the sweet potatoes, topped with melted, marshmallows……….over on the left is some dishes that my sister left covered that she brought, they kept getting cold for some reason………..Above the potatoes were her deviled eggs and banana pudding, which you can’t see, because they are covered…….too………. she was supposed to bring a fruit salad, which she forgot……..

Oh I kept my giblet gravy on the stove……..since there wasn’t enough room for it on the table and was able to re-heat it ever so often and keep it warm…… 

Hope all of you had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving…….
