  3. Heavens - are you expecting an Army??!!!!! Are you making the jello with the shredded carrots and crushed pineapple? I bet your mother had the same jello cookbook mine had from the 1960s! :-) What a great way to remember your mother.

  4. You've got me beat with the sheer volume of proteins. We're just doing a turkey. And to be very honest, I like the cranberry sauce that still has the ridges on it from the can!
