Third Sunday Dinner's are always amazing and November's are always the biggest and most exciting. This year there were between 150 to 200 persons. Wow what a party. Three smoked turkeys, 49+ pounds of smoked chicken breast, 200 plus dinner rolls, 40+ pounds of mashed potatoes, homemade green corn tamales, and a whole lot of other great foods. It was really great food. I loved the crowd and enjoyed every minute.
Below is a picture reveiw of the event. Pictures can say more and tell a better story. So happy holidays to you and I hope your holidays are filled with great food and wonderful memories of family and friends. Enjoy the Adventure. Chef Brad~America's Grain Guy

| My son got uip on the house and took a picture of the event from the house top. I love it. |
 |
| Our back yard is filled to capacity. I am grateful for mild weather in November in Arizona. There is no way everyone would fit in the house. |
 |
| This is my crew. The boys. I love them and we really have a greast time each Third Sunday Dinner. What a group of workers. They come early and leave late. So grateful for them and they are learning so much. |

| A little lesson on Turkey Carving |
 |
| Fast learner. He carved three large turkeys and one large ham. |
 |
| Whipping the mashed potatoes. Yes I have to admit we used instant. For a group that size you almost have to. The thing about instant is you can have them ready in an instant. I keep a water pot boiling all during the meal so we never run out. For a meal like this you cannot run out of mash potatoes. |
 |
| Smoked Chicken Breast. I love my smoker. |
 |
| Cutting the chicken up. |
 |
| Lots of chicken to cut up. |
 |
| Look at those mashed potatoes. |
 |
| The Mccarry Family. Wow I love them. They moved in the neighborhood rigfht after we started having Third Sunday Dinners over 5 years ago. We touch base a few days before dinner and see what I am needing. What ever I ask they always come through. We have become best friends through the service we do together. |

| The dessert and roll table. |
 |
| Dinner rolls. It seems no matter how many you make there is never enough. |
 |
| More desserts. |
 |
| Salads and notice the pumpkin. That was the center pieces on the table. I cut the top off and filled them up with fresh rosemary and lemon grass. They were great gifts to some of the families that came. They loved them. |
 |
| Great food. Getting ready to disappear. |
 |
| And the lines form. |
 |
| Look at this group of people. Fills my heart with joy. |
 |
| To precious these boys. Nothing like a happy boy. |
 |
| I love the mix of people we get over for dinner. That is one of the blessings of where I live. We get a wonderful blend of culture and charecter. |
