Success.
We managed to wrangle all the food. It was delicious. Ben's mom said the sweet potato casserole was the best she'd ever had. Seriously.
Apparently theirs always start with a can of yams. They're not very adventurous culinarily, so I bought them a subscription to Bon Appetit, which is sitting unread on their magazine stack. XP
We did early Christmas, and Ben's brother gave me "A History of the World in 6 Glasses" and Ben the remains of his bottle of Glen Elgin 12 year (bro quit drinking recently and is destashing). So we had a wee dram of it after dessert. I rather liked it, it isn't peaty at all, kind of smoky and vanilla notes, hint of spice. It's about half full, so we'll have it a while, which is good, because it's hard to come by in the US. (I'm told by a whiskey connoisseur acquaintance that it will soon be distributed in the US, to replace a closed distillery in Classic Malts line. He's also checking for similar whiskeys.)
Anyway. Time to get off the computer. Tomorrow: something familial, and Panciuto.
