Well, other than me getting sick as a dog (chest cold from you know where), dinner was a smashing success! "Success" in my book is that everyone had a great time. We watched the dog show and two football games and dinner was delicious, if I do say so myself.
When everyone was ready to leave, we handed out dollar store "tupperware," about 4 containers of various sizes to each person, and told them to load up. I guess they liked the food, because there was not one scrap of food left! Next time I'm saving some out for Joy and me first, haha! We didn't get a single bite of leftovers. :-( But that's OK; the important thing is that our friends had a good time and went home with some yummy leftovers. The beauty of dollar store food containers is you can get 4 for $1, and then you don't need to worry about getting it back.
Here's Tom roasting in the oven with about 45 minutes to go. It kinda looks like he's almost hitting the top of the oven, but that's just the camera angle; there's actually plenty of room.
Dinnner is served!
