Thanksgiving at Chez Auburnchick involves a formally-set dining room table (the adult table)…
Complete with various decorations…
Yes, these are the salt and pepper shakers from the Publix commercials
The kids have their own table – only because there isn’t enough room at the bigger table…
Of course, Thanksgiving wouldn’t be as special of a day without the food…
The menu consisted of:
Smoked turkey (thanks to Sonny’s BBQ)
Dressing and gravy (thanks, Coupon Queen!)
Field peas (courtesy of Coupon Queen)
Bread (thanks, Super Sis!)
And the other items that I made…
Whipped potatoes – the best I’ve ever made (chicken broth since the Mr. and I are lactose-intolerant, two sticks of butter, salt, pepper, and celery salt)
Deviled eggs
Green bean casserole (thanks, Coupon Queen, for supplying the ingredients!)
Corn
Cranberry sauce
Tea, lemonade, and Caffeine-Free Coke (I didn’t have any…I still haven’t had any soda since September)
Dessert was the chocolate chip bundt cake that I’ve blogged about before. I forgot to add the package of vanilla pudding, but everyone said it tasted just fine anyway.
We ate until we couldn’t fit any more into our bellies, and then Super Sis helped me clean up.
Six hours of work…a house full of happy people.

I used to have a tablecloth just like that! (I may still have it somewhere!) You sound just like me: if someone comes in and talks to me while I’m making something, it’s a sure bet that I’ll forget an ingredient!
Looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🙂
