I don't have family here so am going to join a friend and family's Tday . Bringing side dish and dessert. Dessert will be nothing Bundt cake !

The largest I have ever done was in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield. We had a bunch of husbands who's wives had left the country, several other single guys, and some military people. A couple of Saudi nationals also came. I think the final head count was about 50.

I am making three pies and taking them to my son's.

Two more people just got added, and I will also be making a coconut pound cake.

@susieq : I have never heard of a coconut pound cake !

@carymc1 : It is really, really good. There is a sauce, buttermilk, butter, and coconut that you pour over it. When it comes to food, I am full of surprises and ideas.Simple things, make a spice cake, split the layers, and add apple pie filling. cream cheese frosting
lemon cake, same thing, split layers, put lemon pie filling between, regular butter cream
orange cake, split, make lemon pie filling but use oranges, put between layers, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I get to go to my son's house and let him and daughter in law cook. Time for Mom to rest. But I am going to suggest making tamales for Christmas.

I am really looking forward to hosting Thanksgving this year! Not sure why, I host it every year for my mom, dad and younger sister. Excited about cooking all day and sipping wine this year =)

I will have all my vegetables chopped and measured before I even start cooking. It looks like it will be 2 pumpkin and 2 pecan pies, and the cake. Not sure if I will get around to rolls. At least I am sure I have enough green beans picked for everyone. I will work out my flow chart today or tomorrow so everything gets done at the same time.
