Community Happenings November 20

Gobble Gobble there Community Hens And Toms!

Ray from the Community Management Team here to fork over my Community Happenings Post.

So send the gravy boat down to Grandma, take a pass on your Aunt’s crazy Jell-o concoction (carrots and Jell-o don’t mix), and settle in as we serve up the meat both light and dark going on in Community.

We’re thankful for ALL our Community members, but especially so for Shelly Gammieri this week as she is the focus of our Member Spotlight.  Take a minute to stop by her profile and introduce yourself.

Comments

  • Celery stuffed with Cream Cheese 
  • Pumpkin pie cut twice and served first.  This way if I die before the turkey is served, it will be with a smile on my face.  
  • Is it weird to like the cranberry sauce the best? It's the unifying agent!
  • All the veggies!  There are so many to choose from in one meal it's amazing.  Also, the dessert, because...dessert duh!
  • Mashed potatoes are my favorite comfort food. Garlic mashed potatoes are even better!
  • My favorite side dish and go to for comfort food is a super savory and decadent baked mac and cheese.
  • It has to be oyster stuffing. My family is from New Orleans, but we live in the Midwest. Always bring back a sense of "home".
  • Pumpkin pie with real whipped cream!
  • Real home-made stuffing, made by my mum
  • Stuffing, made out of a case of white castle burgers. I know it sounds gross, and it probably is if you really delve into what's in it, but it's a staple at our very large family Thanksgiving (there's also grandmas traditional stuffing for anyone who's completely grossed out :) )

    Pumpkin chiffon pie is my favorite.
  • Image result for poke 

    This is probably just a Hawaii thing, but every party (including Thanksgiving) has poke as a side dish.  Mmmm nom nom nom...
  • Embarrassingly, black olives. I buy 3 cans: 1 for my guests, 1 for this evening preparation time alone in the kitchen, and 1 for myself hidden in the fridge to snack from all day Thursday.
  • Congrats to our random drawing winner, Shannon Muir‍ for winning our $5 gift card to Starbucks! I'll reach out to get a good email for you so we can send over your prize! :) 
  • Cranberry relish on cream cheese
