Long before Christmas came, we knew that 20 people would be in our home for dinner and that they all lived too far away to help with food. The food furnishing fell fully on us.
Our challenge was to prepare enough food with only one small double oven and a stove with one burner not working.
We decided to use the outdoor propane grill to cook the ham and we bought an electric roaster to reheat the turkey that was cooked a couple of days ahead of time.
In the end, the meal was served about an hour later than expected, but all the dishes were warm and ready to serve at the same time. And the crowd was so engaged with each other that the waiting was no problem.
To take care of the need for seating the multitudes, we rented two tables and sixteen chairs from Party Place.
Debra and Ashley finish the food preparation.
