My aunt hosted Thanksgiving at her home and everything was elevated with the addition of sunlight streaming through the windows. (A welcome detail as it has been so overcast of late.)
I brought coleslaw and deviled eggs to add the abundance of dishes from everyone — turkey, ham, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, stuffing, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls. ALL THE THINGS — and everything was awesome.
Went back for a second plate of sides and regret not bringing home a container with leftovers.
I somehow made room for desserts. A gluten free chocolate cake was my favorite with a tie for Yale’s chocolate pecan pie and an egg nog bundt cake as runner up.
Side note about deviled eggs: I have tried every method (short of forceful blowing) to peel hard boiled eggs and have come to believe two things:
- It doesn’t matter. Hard boiled eggs are finicky and will be easy or difficult to peel based on variables unknown.
- Even ugly deviled eggs taste great.
Two more points unrelated to egg preparation:
- I look like a giant in the above photo. (I don’t feel tall until I see it.)
- We need more get togethers centered around gratitude (that are also potlucks.)
