The feast was splayed out across the kitchen island and adjacent cabinets, as well as two full-size tables. There were hams, both cut and uncut, smoked and fresh and honey glazed, huge mounds on huge platters. Nestled close beside was the storied cornbread dressing, golden brown and moist and without a hint of sage. Without a doubt the centerpiece of the feast, it was accompanied alongside by the homemade giblet gravy and cranberry sauce, tinged with toasted pecans and a hint of orange zest.
Platters of chicken and smoked turkey. Platters of golden, deep fried turkey!
The potatoes steamed in their serving pieces; sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes and scalloped potatoes. And the casseroles. Broccoli and rice, green chili and cheese, green bean. Delicious all.
Cream peas and purple hull peas. Squash dishes and fresh spinach dishes. Creamed corn and field corn and the spicy cheesy corn. Dinner rolls and sourdough rolls.
Fruit salads, with the fruit painstaking peeled by hand, with love, and 5 cup fruit salads. Pickled peaches and pear halves.
Lord, give me rest!
The rest necessary to venture into another adjacent room, where desserts layout as children’s gifts under the Christmas tree!
Pecan pies and apple pies and chocolate pie! Pumpkin pies, both traditional and chiffon, with toasted coconut and whipped cream for garnish. Dump cake and coconut cake and Red Velvet cake. German chocolate cake!
Achtung!
Cherry Delight, in all its splendor. Mince and raisin pie from the olde country.
Heavens to Betsy!
What could be better, than to abide in this place forever?!!
