Holiday Meal-a-plenty

Blog 488:

Plan ahead
Make a list if you prefer
Shop and pick up the best dishes’ ingredients
And freshest of the greens and meats

A day before the gathering hour ...
Wash, peel, scrape …
Chop, slice, cut …
Boil, sauté, grill …
Grind, mix, stir …
Stand steady and long in front of the stove …

Review menu list for dish at a time successfully prepared
Sit and wait for oven timer to tell a dish is done
Enjoy the prep or get sickened by mixed aromas
Test, taste and pinch here and there
Toil all day and wait patiently …
Finally … all savory and deliciously-looking food are done!

Bring to the table
Listen to guests’ “oohs and aahs”
Sit and enjoy with family and friends
Another big holiday meal creation
Fit for a thankful crowd!
