veggie tray with a ranch dip (very simple and easy)
stuffed mushrooms
mini chicken cheese balls

Main Course: at 2:30
Smoked Ham
2 Fried Turkeys (1 injected with Cajun seasonin and 1 southern style)
Dressing (not stuffed into anything but our bellies)
Chicken and Dumplings (my BIL says mine are the best in the world)
giblet gravy
green beans & slow cooked pinto beans with ham hock
mac & cheese a must for the little ones
potato salad (sister can't do without)

Good Lord, graytonrbust....do you cook ALL of this yourself? I am coming to your house for Thanksgiving...YUM!!!

Well everybody's eating my sweet potatos and nobody is convulsing yet so I guess they're okay.

That is my recipe too LL. I love it. How is your wife by the way? I have been meaning to ask about her migraines and if you told her about Imitrex.

Thanks for asking! She's been doing fine with the headaches. She hasn't had another one since. But now she has bronchitis.

I'm glad she hasn't had one in a while. Hopefully she will be better by Turkey Day. I hope so!

That's my son, from about 2 yrs. ago. (I figured it was looking like I might be a little obsessed with Damian. Ha!)
