That, my friends, is enough mac n cheese to feed a damn army. I don't know what I was thinking, considering it calls for 4 pounds of cheese, a pound of butter, 4 or 5 whole eggs, and several cups of whole milk. I realized early on I'd have to use two pans. We still have a ton left, even after sharing huge portions with a neighbor. I don't know how I'm going to get rid of it all, but I'll admit, it's delicious.
Here's what my Thanksgiving plate looked like. We still had cranberry/pineapple sauce left from book club last week.
I was too full to even think about dessert after that, but the next day I peeled some apples and made baked apple hand pies.
We stumbled upon this Santa candy dish while putting away the fall wreath
and candleholders. I added him to the picture to make it more interesting! :)
On Friday another seed catalog (from Baker Creek) arrived. I also got a new David Austin Roses handbook and Seed Savers Exchange catalog recently. These will be perfect for daydreaming over this winter!
I hope all my American friends had a happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for all of you reading here. xx

Sometimes a quite holiday is best. This was the first time in my life we had no family coming...but I still had in some people in need, that work with my mother, greed card holders, since I had the means. It was a good day. Your plate looks tasty to me girl!
Will be fun to see the result of your seeds. I keep adding to my wildflower garden every year. Yesterday after a final garden clean up, I planted flower bulbs that one of my guests brought me for thanksgiving dinner. Ill be interested to see how they will do.
Your dinner look delicious! My husband and I raised five children, three of them were teenaged boys at the same time. I find it very difficult to cook "normal" size recipes.
You always do such a beautiful job with your special events. It looks beautiful and delicious. As for the Mac n Cheese, that’s something SG would do. Enough for an army! Oops!
Oh man, I just want to plant my face in that mac 'n cheese!
My three oldest grandsons would love that mac and cheese. (me too!) It looks like a perfect meal. I still have apple pie left--dangerous when I live alone.
Looks like a great meal! You were smart to freeze turkey breasts for the winter!
Baked mac and cheese freezes well, so you may thank yourself on some cold February day when you hungry for comfort food. And honestly, I the quiet holidays are the best. You don't have to worry about this, or that, or something over cooked, or undercooked. You can eat when you want, do the dishes when you want, and actually make the day a holiday.
You can eat mac & cheese for months. I hope you never get tired of it.
Love,
Janie
