I know that none of
you probably want to see a Thanksgiving table after the fact, but you're going
to anyway. Considering that I had absolutely no idea just how I was going
to set it as close as the very day before, I thought it turned out beautifully.
It was largely due to our good friend and dinner-and-baseball bud, Lennie,
who was not able to join us, but sent a lovely little flower arrangement
instead. It was a bit small for our table, so I surrounded it with some faux
pumpkins and the result was quite pleasing, I think.
Then, I thought I'd do something really different with the napkins this year,
so folded them into turkeys!
While they are more pretty than practical (because
each diner has to deal with not only two napkins, but a securing pin and piece
of foil), everyone enjoyed them and they were amazingly easy to do.
The best
way to learn is to watch this
video. I find that it
really helps to fold them on an ironing board, and iron between each step.
Also, do starch your napkin that will be used for the feathers.
I hope you all had a
lovely Thanksgiving. Here's what we had for dinner (and this took me THREE DAYS to prepare!) that probably tasted better than it looks.
Even two days hence, I am still recovering from it!
Now...on to Christmas!
