SIL decided not to cook (much) this year and ordered a package deal from the catering counter at the local supermarket that was supposed to feed 10 people (we had 8 adults & 2 children). For $200 (Canadian) -- i.e., $20 per person -- we got:
- 2 roasted boneless turkey breasts,
- a choice of two side dishes (from a list of 13 -- we had mashed potatos and roasted root vegetables),
- a large salad (choice of 3 -- we had Caesar salad),
- 10 small buns,
- gravy and cranberry sauce, and
- 20 mini-cannolis for dessert (choice of 5 fillings -- we had ricotta/chocolate chip).
We had a good time, especially with the kids. :) The nephews took the great-niblings outside on the deck to play for a while, and dh & I took some really cute photos of them. :) (A couple of non-human photos below.)
SIL's pretty table centrepiece. (Which we had to remove to make room for all the plates & food! lol) |
Part of the feast, before we all dug in. Doesn't it look colourful? |
Note the dog is sporting a festive Halloween collar. :) |

Aww, Cooper looks so cute. Glad you had a lovely time. Mali (from a device that won’t let me log in!)
