Once the revolts were over, we finally had a happy Thanksgiving dinner. Ham glazed with honey and mustard and garnished with pineapple, apricots, and mandarin slices; some very substantial mashed potatoes; various forms of cranberry sauce; olives; peach chardonnay; the list goes on. We saved the pies until that evening, when we had more room.
Fiona demonstrates the proper technique for eating olives — on one's fingers.

My family's technique for resolving Thanksgiving food preference disputes is to fix everything. Somebody wants something, you just add it to the list, and somebody makes it. The upshot of this is that you have enough leftovers to make meal preparation easy for several days afterward. The downside is, it's hard to find room for everything on the table. We've got that covered, though, because my mom's dining room table has about twelve extra leaves that can be inserted as necessary.
Well, considering we had a limited budget, a borrowed coffee table, and some grumpy cooks, I don't know that your method would have been a real option for us. In a perfect world...
Card table, that's what I meant to say. We could have used our coffee table, but we would have had to do so without chairs.
