Good stuff all around!

Y’all had a wonderful meal for sure. Can you give us the details on the red velvet cake?

Good red velvet cake with cheesecake filling hidden inside it. I went by this recipe for the most part, with a little extra cocoa added:

Except I used this icing on it:

It was delicious. I'll definitely make it again. I will probably be forced to make it again, actually.

Yeast rolls are one of my major weaknesses. I can eat two dozen.

Sounds like my better half. I learned long ago that expensive dinner's were not her thing.... she would eat every roll, breadstick or loaf on the table then eat two bites of her food and say that she was full.

I always get the best leftover's though but we haven't been to a steakhouse in 10 years.

Meat. Taters. Bread. That's a meal in my opinion, and I''m happy with it.

This will be a running thread as stuff happens. I have family coming in from out west, and family who have jobs with odd schedules like nurses and stuff, so we pretty much never do Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving day. We're having our family Thanksgiving dinner this afternoon.

Me and YHFP spent most of the day yesterday cooking, baking, and prepping.

YHFP's semi-world famous tater salad:

And her gooey chocolate-walnut brownies:

YHFP made up some delicious Phillie steaks last night after the baking was all done:

Now, I'm getting ready to throw a turkey on the Akorn. Gonna be a good day, but tiring.

That tator salad looks right !
