Team Thanksgiving Preview

Today, the Team is continuing its Thanksgiving dinner tradition. A sign up sheet was placed in the Team Room this past week, and many of us signed up to bring our favorite dishes. Several women's team members are making festive desserts and other classic Turkey Day dishes, like cheesy mashed potatoes and stuffing. For those who aren't kitchen savvy, their was a financial contribution option that will help to pay for the three 25 lbs. turkeys! Yum!
I'm very much looking forward to tasting everyone's creations and revisiting my own cooking abilities. I might be a little rusty because it's been a year since I Iast made green bean casserole...good thing I have a very detail recipe to follow. I was told to make two batches of my casserole, so I need to go get the ingredients for one more.
What's so wonderful about this occasion is that so many teammates are willing to pitch in and participate. Among many other things, I'm thankful for my college team, in that they are willing and eager to schedule events that all team members can join in on. Even though our group is nearly 70 people, we have strong bonds with one another, which has definitely created a family-like atmosphere. Today will be a fantastic opportunity to continue strengthening our ties.
Please check back later this evening and tomorrow to read my blog about how the dinner turned out!
Go Hawks!
