Alright I had some great entries! You guys are great writers, so much detail. But I had to choose one sadly. Ok ok, I'll tell you. The contest winner is: Kel! Kel, I love your entry, great job! Here is Kel's entry:
Hi Kate! Is it too late to give it a shot?I think in the center of the table there should be a horn of plenty filled with pictures of the guests attending, some leaves, orange and red flowers, magnolias. Maybe the napkins could be in the shape of a turkey. Fancy glasses, plates with leaves painted on them. Hand-Made turkeys and leaves around the house. And if some of the guests are kids have coloring pages and construction paper and markers and craons out and ready. Now for the food. Turkey of course! Cranberry sauce, stuffing, Hawian Bread, ham, broccoli, cream corn, mash potatoes, gravy, sweetpotatoes with marshmellows cinamin and brown sugar, french bread, cranberry wine, or for younger kids cranberry juice with sprite, soda, water juice.For dessert. Pear tart, cranberry pie, homemade pumpkin pie with whip cream, homemade apple pie, moose tracks ice cream, coffe, tea, milkshake, hot coco. That's all I got.;)HOPE THEY HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!:)
She also told me she forgot to add pilgrim and native American salt and pepper shakers. But, I received two other Awesome entries from Samantha Wolfe an Ayden Black, great job you two!!! Here are their entries.
Samantha:
Food? Pah, that's an easy prompt. ;-)Okay, okay. This is the contest you mentioned, right? Okay.... er.Well, first of all, and most naturally, she should have a turkey. (No, really? ;-)) Unless, of course, everyone is allergic to turkey for some odd reason, in which case, ham. A big ham. She should totally have either 1. Mashed Potatoes, or 2. Scalloped potatoes, my personal favorite. They are delicious. Or, if she felt like it and had a recipe for it, cheesy potato casserole. Something with potatoes. ;-)Green bean Casserole is like... tradition.Stuffing. (doink.)Desserts: Pie. Apple, Pumpkin, Pecan.... anything, just make pie. Pie is delicious. However, if she was making pie, she'd better get either whipped cream or ice cream to go with it. :-)Decorations: Maybe like those autumn leaves that she can put on the table or whatever.... er. Like, a garland? I can't explain it. Or just have a pumpkin or leaf decorated tablecloth/napkins/place-mats. (Not all three, just one or another, in my opinion.) Salt and pepper shakers? Well, at my house we have these like... turkey metal salt and pepper shakers. So.... yeah. Maybe have some fake pumpkins around the house, and some autumn leaves around the house..... Oooh, and a Cornucopia, too. Like in the middle of the table. :-) (If there's room with the food. ;-))For the rest, basic stuff and make new traditions for food to eat. :-)'Kay, I'm done. ;-)
Oh, and before I forget: Martinelli's. :-D It's a tradition at my house. It's like apple cider.... but not.... it's cold for one thing.
Ayden:
Is this the contest you were talking about? All about food I see. I am so THERE! Food is my favorite subject. Uhhh, lets take a crack at this while I am here. Lets do a list!1. Turkey and other meats: some chicken, beef, ham.2. Deserts! Pie, cake, eclairs, ice cream, what ever you like. 3. All sorts of condiments: salt, pepper, anything.4. Decorations are a given. So, some classics will do, pumpkins, those weird shaped things that you stuff with fruits and veggies. Thats all I got.
Thank you for all the awesome entries, even if you didn't win!
Until next post,
