Hope everyone is having a nice day and excellent food.  Here's some pics from our place.  My wife's parents are here for the week and her sister's family came over dinner today.


Except for my mother-in-law, everyone prefers to have steak, so we usually don't have turkey.  This is good stuff - marinated tri-tip from Kinders, a local butcher shop.

Aside from the steak, everything else is the traditional stuff.  My mother-in-law makes excellent stuffing.  She was up late last night making fresh, homemade cornbread to use in the stuffing today.

My wife helps out with the potatoes.

Our feast!  Green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, salad, potato salad and rolls (steak is still on the grill).

I was nearly trampled while trying to balance a plate of food in one hand and a camera in the other.

Wouldn't be the same without some tasty pie - lemon, banana cream, pecan and of course, pumpkin.

And Troy later brought over one of his mom's excellent chocolate cream pies.  Mmmm, thanks Troy!

You knew I had to do this...

Jojo guards the food to make sure no one sneaks a bite before it's time for dinner.

No problem.  Those famous pies normally sell for at least $20, but I'm in good with the chef...  [:)]

P.S., why not post a picture for everyone to drool over?
