HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!






HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!



This year we served our Thanksgiving dinner on Friday instead of Thursday. We had many families so we made it less formal and used paper plates and utensils that looked very good. Place some of the foods on pedestal to take the eyes from the simple setting. So most eyes are looking down instead of side view so the plates still look pretty but the foods are amazing enough to carry the show. Lay the plates and utensils out it accents the table cloth. Do not stock them in a corner. tacky tacky. Containers that are not table worthy like foil containers, (like in the pic) simply use a towel and make a basket around it. Be creative. Place your bowl in the plates if you are having soups. Once the food is tasted everyone forgets the paper plates ( don't really like paper plates and plastic forks but in this case sure saves on clean up) Plus we had families coming at different times so it worked out well. We had more times together this way, because Fridays are our kind of happy hour, we bring in the Sabbath with songs of praise and worship and we are not hampered with more work of cleaning up.

  1. While the meal was marvelous the setup was extravagant enough that the guests hesitated to dig in.
