Orphan's Christmas/Pot luck





As if one turkey experience wasn't enough my friends Jared and Victor decided to host a host christmas dinner for the neighbours. In many ways it was quite a subdued affair as most of the attendees (including myself) had been out for a birthday night of dinner/dancing on college the night before, so there were a lot of slow movers.

Of course in the name of food (my personal god) i volunteered to help out. This one was a lot more organized that the riding girls - we put together the menu in advance. (aka i made them plan) Victor and Jared made turkey, two types of mashes and stuffing. They turkey was 18 lbs, and Victor lovingly basted it for hours - as usual, i didn't have any, but there was a lot of mmmming all around.

Mor made an awesome hummus and pita. (styled by Jared) I put together some ribs in the slow cooker, which i will tell you from personal experience does not transport by car very well. I also made caesar salad and bruschetta. It was quite a spread overall.
