Kevin and Gini visit their grandfather while Larissa and I assemble the trifle. We discovered a beautiful glass bowl, so heavy i can't carry it to the downstairs kitchen for assembly. I never assemble a trifle that I don't think of my mother and nephews. The trifle was mom's idea and the little boys thought it was beautiful. The next year 7 yr oldJacob gave me a beautiful trifle bowl.
The day before, Gini and Larissa made the turkey stuffing, carefully following Chris's Oklahoma instructions; with me popping in saying - Oh make it your own. Add what you think will taste good. Not helpful.
I'm facsinated and amused to discover all these wonderful Oklahoma Foods. I sort of consider myself a bit of an Oklahoman. I love that Aunt Marilyn found ways to bring her childhood, memories and family with her - thru food. The kids remember the holiday meals in their grandma's home, continuing to duplicate it today. There are additions, something of Antje - beautiful red cabbage and a nod to Ireland, pureed parsnip/carrot.
Turkey prep, it was roasted to perfection
Next time, the man brings his own 🔪. Still the carving was impressive.
Dinner! Yum!
