Room at the table

Just had a second to take a quick shot of the table before my family lost patience with me. The turkey was cooked in an infrared fryer (no oil) for the second year. Somehow, the thermometer must not have been placed properly (not my job!) and when I cut the beautifully brown turkey, parts were not completely cooked! :-( No matter. I finished the uncooked parts, but dinner was still a bit delayed. One day I will learn to cut a turkey and make it look easy like they do on TV. The table was smaller this year without my dad and with my youngest son at his girlfriend's in TX. Still, my sister was here for the first time in a while. We had a pleasant day. I hope you did, too!
Beautiful place setting! We had a wonderful time. I am stuffed!

Beautiful spread and setting. As good as it looks I can't blame your family for not being overly patient.

@pennystot I didn't have a cruet set. Did you mean the pilgrims? I had posted this photo from a few years ago: http://365project.org/danette/extras/2014-11-19

And @ladygator posted a photo yesterday of both pilgrims.

It was a lovely dinner. We have finally worked out to have not a ridiculous amount of food!

@danette thank you! Yes they are cute

@pennystot Ha! They are much beloved here in Florida. Our grocery chain, Publix, had a commercial for many years featuring them (as they come "alive"), so they began selling them. We all love Publix!
