Instead of the usual milestone BBQ, our jobsite team cooked a Thanksgiving feast for a crew of over 70 people. All-in-all, we deep fried 6 turkeys, made 3 chaffing dishes worth of stuffing, bought 6 Costco pies, prepared 3 chaffing dishes of corn, grilled 8 lbs. of sweet potatoes, made 15 cups of homemade cranberry sauce, 14 quarts of gravy, and mashed 5 gallons worth of potatoes.

Most of the dishes were prepared on the jobsite which provided several unique challenges. The most entertaining dish to make was the mashed potatoes. Thankfully I came prepared with the digital camera.

The day turned out to be quite a success as the construction crews really enjoyed a unique jobsite milestone lunch and our team was able to work together in a different environment than the daily grind.
