"I'm afraid the challah got a little burnt this week."

Party time.

'Aw, mom! How come I always have to eat at the kiddie carcass?'

'I'm thankful you didn't make turnips.'

How to make an unforgettable dinner for four

"My client greatly regrets the incident with the carving knife. However, in her defense, 14 people were coming for Thanksgiving and her husband, who had just one job to do, bought only 8 rolls."

"I stuffed it with things found around the house."

I don't do wishbones. I do just-make-it-happen bones.

"Perhaps it was the eel," The Lefleurs commiserate with their paying guest.

"You don't use a cookbook, Tia Carmen?"

'Yuck! My creamed corn is polluting my mashed potatoes!'

So glad you could make it!
