Ours was delicious - and I didn't have to make it! Our neighbour
invited us over for turkey dinner... he roasted a small turkey, made
dinner rolls, gravy and dressing entirely from scratch, and made a
yummy onion and mushroomy thing that I'll have to ask for the recipe.
Altogether too many carbs, but absolutely delicious. My contribution
was an apple pie that didn't get eaten because we were all too full to
want any. I just hope they enjoy it! lol
We also had brunch at church in the morning. My contribution was the
breakfast casseroles. After much thought I decided to do a basic bread
and butter pudding (aka baked french toast) and I whipped up a
sugar-free fat-free diabetic version for a few people who are
restricted. And I made a savoury casserole based on tater tots. I was
a bit dubious about it because I've never had a tater tot in my life,
but it was delicious! I'll be making that one for us some time...
there wasn't a scrap of it left at the end of the brunch. I've got to
write the recipes down because a bunch of people asked for them. I'm
baking another bread pudding as we speak, and I wrote down all the
ingredients for the scaled-down version so that I can share it.
The other brunch offerings were homemade biscuits and gravy, scrambled
eggs, sausage and peppers, fresh fruit, a grit casserole that I didn't
have any of (I hate grits), and bagels. All in all, it was a highly
satisfying eating day.
