"Everything with butter"

1. Dark meat turkey with skin (basted in butter)
2. Mashed potatoes with extra butter on top
3. Mashed sweet potatoes with pecan streusel (I'm sure there's butter in there somewhere)
4. Stuffing
5. Green beans with butter, lemon, sliced almonds
6. Homemade cranberry sauce ....
OK, maybe it should be called "5 things with butter, plus cranberry sauce"
