So I bring the turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy. Also lots of different kinds of olives. And typically some pie (pumpkin this year; apple, sweet potato, and butternut squash pies in the past).<BR/><BR/>That may seem like the entire meal, but it's not. This year, for example, we had a roast pig (my brothers-in-law did the roasting of one of their pigs); rice, potato salad, fried chicken, meatballs, kimchee noodles, sashimi, and I forget what else. A neighbor even brought tacos. And we had pumpkin cheesecake, too. <BR/><BR/>(In years past, we've had much more seafood, with trays full of steamed crabs and lobsters, shrimp kelaguen, and grilled reef fish. This year was light on the marine side.)<BR/><BR/>There are never enough vegetables. (although we usually have eggplant).Saipan Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030098267460841286noreply@blogger.com
