9 yo Daughter is making cake balls for dessert.

Well, I'm not hosting, since mom won't let me. But she made us all come up with authentic pilgrim food and bring one dish per person over. So I shudder to think what we'll be eating. We are bringing furmenty, sobaheg and stewed pompion.
Hopefully there will be something recognizable there....
Well this year my family didn't get together and my BF's family didn't either so we had a nice day at home together with a houseguest home for the holiday.
My BF's only request was Mashed Potatoes and corn so instead of making a turkey (why don't they sell small ones?) I made Homemade Porcupine meatballs and we also had rolls. Then I made RiceKrispy treates for desert.
We had a potluck Thanksgiving meal at my grandparents house and it was unbelievably good! We had:
Turkey
Ham
Stuffing
Green Beans
Corn
Mashed Potatoes
Broccoli Cheese Casserole
Sweet Potato Casserole (2 kinds)
Dumplings
Yeast Rolls
Sweet Potato Biscuits
Cranberry Salad (2 kinds)
Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Pecan Pie
Apple Cranberry Pie
Nutter Butter Pie
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Um, yeah, I think that was all. Everything was so good! I can't wait until my stomach is empty enough to enjoy leftovers!!!
Well, it was actually pretty fun! Other people brought crumpets, and sweet potato soup and mashed squash, so we had 4or 5 authentic Pilgrim dishes there. I didn't think they would taste good, but everything but the crumpets was actually pretty tasty. So I apologize to my mom (even though she doesn't see this site) for my chef frowny face from previous post!
Turkey Breast
smoked turkey legs
mashed potatoes
stuffing
gravy
home canned green beans ( from our garden this summer)
corn on the cob (also from this summer)
sweet potato casserole
broccoli casserole
homemade rolls
pecan pie
pumpkin roll
Took 5 hours to prepare, and 20 min. to eat. Then another hour clean-up.
And now I feel like a blimp!!!

Carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, olives, dip. Followed by turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, corn, mashed potatoes, roasted yams.
Followed by dessert buffet of :
pumpkin pie with choice of whipped cream, assorted cookies, cakes, rum balls, cheese wedges, satsumas, apples, nuts.
Accompanied by choice of : coffee, tea, wine, sparkling apple-cranberry juice or egg nog.
Okay, I admit that I took the easy road today. We went to see "Happy Feet" and went out to dinner at a local restraunt. I don't like cooking big holiday spreads for the family because it's just DH, the three kids, and myself. Plus I figure if I don't buy it and bring it in the house I won't eat it. The only thing I bought was a no sugar added pumpkin pie incase anyone has a case of the midnight munchies. I'm so bah humbug it's ridiculous.
