Christmas dinner

Our Christmas dinner table

After a relaxing day at the beach and in the pool, there were six of us in the kitchen doing last minute prep while two invited guests offered encouragement from the bar. Fortunately the new kitchen could accommodate all of the activity. John was the gravy maker, Harvey mashed the potatoes, Rich carved the turkey, JAP mixed martinis, Doug searched out serving dishes and I offered advice.

Eight of us finally sat around the table for dinner... seven guys and me!! The dinner was delicious, interlaced with conversations about the day's disaster. Earlier in the day I had managed to plug the garburator with carrot and potato peelings. Harvey had applied his plumbing skills to the "Mexican style" installation of the new garburator. Apparently it isn't wise to feed more than 2 or 3 peelings at a time. Each telling of the story was embellished until it became the Christmas Tale of 2013!
