the rest of the day was about gettign ready for dinner. Max cooked the turkey\u00a0 while becky and diane saw to all the other dishes. It was\u00a0 southwestern themed thanksgiving with dishes for vegitarians, non -dairy peopke, gluten free people, non alchohol drinking people.. and just people \ud83d\ude42\u00a0

here’s what I remember of the menu:
Beckys fresh\u00a0 garden salsa and chips\u00a0
Southwest rubbed brined turkey by max
vegitarian blue corn stuffing\u00a0
blue corn muffins
multple gravies including mole turkey gravey, anchau red peper veggitarian gravy
cranberry slaw with onions
thanksgiving style cranberies
mashed potatoes from Beckys gardens
vegitarian enchilada pie with fresh garden veggies\u00a0
fresh slaad from the garden
squash and onion\u00a0 stew
fresh wax and string beans from the garden\u00a0
really hot green chile sauce (hot even for me \ud83d\ude42\u00a0
non-alcholi based mocktai of pomegranite and fresh prickly pear that becky and match had harvested all aroudn their neighborhood (from danny)

i’m sure i’m missing some stuff..\u00a0
