Southern Thanksgiving Eve
Submitted by Christi
On Thanksgiving eve, my mother and I did a lot of cooking so we could have as much done ahead of time as possible. After that was done, the rest of the family began to arrive. We prepared chili and all the fixins for everyone to have as they arrived. Easy and delicious and now we are read for the big day!

Piping hot!

Christi… I have never heard of red pepper straws. Neat! That’s a new one on me.
I have got to tell you that I love your china. What pattern is that? It’s so good looking!
I hope that you have a Happy Tablescape Thursday/Thanksgiving and that the Lord blesses you with blessings overflowing…

I love you chili table…the two comments that have question marks are supposed to have hearts…they showed up and then when I hit submit they turned out to not be hearts but ? marks…..I certainly don’t question your lovely table!
