This is the place setting we had for Christmas Day dinner. The napkins even came with coasters, so cute!
The dinner was delicious, and too much was made on purpose. Why? Because the very best part of shared meals is leftovers.
I really, really, really don’t like cooking. I give thanks for leftovers! The cooking can be avoided for a few days. Yeah!
I saw this somewhere or other and thought I’d try it for Christmas Dinner 2011. It is two black olives for the body, a small ball of mozzarella cheese for the belly (split the belly and stuff the mozzarella ball inside), and carrot for the nose and feet (kinda gross if you think about the nose which was cut out from the feet).
It was a great trial, but it was also merely a cute decoration. The error in this trial? Most of my family will not eat a black olive even if it would save them from starvation on a desert island.
Moral of the Story: Cross check your ingredients against the food preferences of your family and friends. Unless you want to finish them off yourself over the next week. Which could be fun too.
I give thanks for tasty treats. Here is a before photo of Fried Green Tomatoes.
I am celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow not only with family, but also with vegetarians who know how to make near any veggie absolutely delicious.
I look forward to tasty treats with my fantastic family. I pray you have a joyous Thanksgiving!
