Wow - The Booth/Burns/Lamberts can really cook! Thanksgiving they loaded the table with roast turkey, fried turkey, baked ham, chinese ribs, smoked pork loin, tri-tip beef, smoked ribs, smoked prime rib and baked prime rib. Plus all the trimmings! You want desserts? How about apple pie, coconut cream pie, banana cream pie, German chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheese roll, nut tarts and a huge fruit basket.

It was an awesome feast, but shortly after it was over we called it a day. Most of us had been up all or part of the night before, working on the church dinner. This year the church served dinner to about 3,500 people, and over 3,100 of those were hand-delivered to the people’s homes! The church that hosts the dinner only has about 200 members but they get a lot of volunteers for this event. Aunt Jean and another lady made all the dressing, cousin Teresa worked all night prepping the massive amounts of vegetables, and they both cooked several turkeys. Randy spent most of Wednesday night cooking potatoes (roughly 1200 lbs), and I used my particular skill - I washed dishes. All in all it was an exhausting but absolutely wonderful experience.
