Yummm!!!
Sweet potatoes. Was I the only one eating the sweet potatoes? I don't care, they were great!
Christmas wreath strudel pastry.
Notice the disposable plates. We Sutton's are nothing if not lazy about dishes!!
Ma making the spuds! Always a favorite.
I could go on and on about interesting statistics (including the first Thanksgiving being attributed to a meal held in 1621 between the Wampanoag Indians and the Pilgrims), so instead I'll just show you a link and let you adventure yourself:
Bee mentioned that she heard on the WBBM radio that the Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest day of the year for plumbers. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to why.
Two interesting Friday references I've come across the last two days: Black Friday and the possible origins of Friday the 13th. Black Friday is the name for the Friday after Thanksgiving in which stores have their busiest shopping day in terms of customer traffic and is so named some speculate, because their performance on this day will determine if they will end up in the black (good) or red (bad).
Second, the possible origins of Friday the 13th, can be found with this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_Templar_legends#Friday_the_13th
Sounds cool at least! You should actually look up Knights Templar on Wikipedia prior to seeing The DaVinci Code if you have the time and inclination. It's out on DVD now and a decent rental.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!!

wow, looks like a fantastic spread! No one in my office said a thing - that is totally a US holiday no one else cares about. :)
It was an awesome spread, truly, and FYI Lakeview, If you read the DaVinci code instead of watching it, you will get the info on the Templars!!!! I just did not picture Tom Hanks as the lead here...peh!
