We had our Thanksgiving meal, yesterday to accommodate everyone's schedules. I had the honor of hosting our celebration this year and while our group was small, they are definitely our most important people. Our menu was as typical as they come:

Then layer the following:
Layer 2 - Chopped fine green onions
Layer 3 - Chopped fine/diced celery

Layer 7 - Dressing:
