Cooking for over 50 people can be a challenge.

Two month ago, when Elyse, Megan, and I thought about cooking a thanksgiving dinner for the whole Sherwood Lett (population 109 people) we thought it was a great idea. I mean how hard can it be to cook for say 70 people? We started planning two months in advanced and it was going to be easy. We were going to buy already made turkeys, get everyone to R.S.V.P. two weeks before the event reserve the kitchen way in advance and it would run smoothly.

Yes I know what you are thinking, “THEY ARE CRAZY” and we were/are. Nothing went as planned except that the meal was a huge success. No one would cook the turkeys for us so we had to cook them our selves which included de-gibliting them which non of us knew how to do. But with lots of luck and many friends we manage to pull it of. It was amazing I made Mashed potatoes from scratch and learned how to cook turckey and that you need much more time than 20 minutes per pound. All in all it was an amazizing evening, Tom made a very moving speech and I can now say that I cooked for more than 54 people.


Oh!!! And it SNOWED!!! REAL WHITE, FLUFFY, COLD, SNOW!!!!
