This dinner had a lot going in it. First off, I cooked. Sort of. But not really. The mashed potatoes were mine, though. There's also this:
Oooooh yeaaaaaah
This was the core of the meal; a giant turkey leg, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and kugel. Kugel is basically a Jewish pudding. And there was this:
Hey Jared, my matzo balls are bigger than your matzo balls
The turkey. The full bird was 12 pounds
Hallah aka "really good Jewish bread" provided by Charlie's Best Bread, which shaped it as a circle to represent the cycle of another year
My mashed potatoes. I thought I put too much milk in but they were reportedly really good
The stuffing and the kugel and a couple different gravies
But the thing that we all eat dinner for...DESSERT:
It was so beautiful I didn't want to cut into it, but after I did I couldn't stop eating it
Terrific meal and Happy New Year to my Jewish family and friends! Just remember - "it's our sense of humor that's sustained us as a people for 3000 years." "5000." "5000! Even better!"
