Eli arrived a little early to help spread out the feast as Kate had asked, and had even managed to somehow bring some steamed vegetables with him as well to complete everything. Carrots, asparagus, as well as some mashed potatoes. He was no real cook either, but it was not hard to use his grandmothers vegetable steamer, or throw together a thing of mashed potatoes from a box.
He felt fit to eat a horse, but instead he restrained himself until everyone else had arrived and was likewise ready to eat. Until then he pacified himself with a bottle of water.
