thankful. for. MOM.

my mom is such an outrageously good cook.  it makes me so happy.  she's like me and gets ridiculously stressed in the kitchen when cooking for others, but its always laughable.  i joined my folks for dinner last night, and this is what it looked like.

needless to say.  i am still full.

caramelized brussels sprouts with almonds
scalloped potatoes
vegetable/stuffing with crumble
russian chicken w sausage
ham
apple + pumpkin pie

there was more but my camera died.  my mom is the best.
