Florida and a great supper

Friday night we went to my papaw's house for their Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthday party dinner. One of my cousins is getting ready to move to Australia and her son was celebrating a birthday. He was six years old. My grandparents are going to Florida for the winter. So, we had a great big supper Friday night.

The healthy things on the table were flounder bake, fish chowder, home grown green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, lobster, ham, rolls, vegetable salad, and homemade ice cream for desert.

The kids got to open gifts and we watched trading spouses because they filmed this weekend's episode in Olympia Kentucky. We didn't get to watch all of it, but it was interesting to say the least.

Back to the healthy issue when it comes to having a large amount of food in front of you or different foods to choose from. Here it is.............take a tablespoon of the foods you are interested in trying and find out which ones you like. After you have chosen the two or three that you like the most go back and get a serving of those. This will work for deserts as well.

I would like to hear if anyone out there has family that does the same thing that my grandparents do. Having Thanksgiving and Christmas in October before they to go to Florida.
