It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without Val's 7 Layer Salad!
I almost hated to dig into it. Almost. Romaine lettuce, green onions, boiled eggs, peas, mayo, shredded cheddar, and bacon.
Hick had his plate filled and was sitting down to eat before I came back to kitchen upon announcing it was ready. The Pony got a picture before Hick began feeding.
As you can see, Hick prefers ham to turkey. And doesn't mind his foods touching.
The Pony forgot the deviled eggs, and had to go back!
The Pony loves (Stove Top) stuffing and the "vinchtables." Even tried the hash brown potatoes this year, though they were left from our last holiday meal, and unfrozen this time.
Can you believe The Pony eschewed my 7 Layer Salad to make a plainer version??? And that pan of Sister Schubert's Rolls belongs to The Pony. Hick and I had our own.
It's Thanksgiving, and I believe in turkey. So I had a turkey leg!
It was a bit tendon-y, as are all turkey legs, but I enjoyed gnawing on it and waving it about. The Pony said I belonged at a Renaissance Fair. I also had a scrap of ham, deviled egg, hash brown potatoes, roll, green beans with ham, and roasted vegetables. And the star of my meal, the 7 Layer Salad.
Dessert was an Oreo Cake. Hick and The Pony love it. Me, not so much.
It's not the prettiest cake I ever made, but I'm sure the flavor was all that mattered to the feasters. It looks a little better from the top.
I was planning to have a bit of Hick's anniversary cookie for dessert.
Turns out I was too full of turkey leg and salad. No room for dessert. I'll try again tomorrow.
The Pony left with a box full of leftovers. FRIG II is as stuffed as I am.
