Yesterday was one of my best days ever. Sure, the turkey cooked at supersonic speed and was ready two hours early. And I freaked a little when I thought the gravy was going to be a floury disgusting mess. And how was I supposed to know that the electric mixer was in the "on" position when I plugged it in?
And all that smoke? That was just mac and cheese drippings burning on the bottom of the oven. It wasn't the actual macaroni and cheese.
It was funny. Really, really funny.
And fun. And yummy. And warm. And cozy. And grateful. And fun.
Oh, how I love Thanksgiving.
How was yours?

Yummy and cozy, too. Barbecued turkey that was just right, yams, corn pudding, garlicky salad and then my apple pie made with almond meal crust and just a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon. I want more!
ReplyDeleteParade, food, nap, Elf.
ReplyDeleteWe hosted a dinner for our Aussie friends. It turned out awesome! Especially because our oven doesn't have a temperature gauge, and even if it did, it would be in Celsius. We loaded it with turkey, homemade stuffing and a plethora of casseroles. And it all came out edible. Yes!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving it too! Wishing love and peace and family for everyone (turkey too!)
ReplyDeleteOurs was nice because my whole family was home. Then my daughter's boyfriend came over for dessert, so we got to get to know him a little better.
ReplyDeleteYours sounded perfect -- sometimes all you can do is laugh when things get crazy.
We don't have thanksgiving in England but have turkey at Christmas. It's best cooked 30 minutes per pound plus 30 minutes. We now have turkeys in kilograms of course.
ReplyDeleteIt was fine. Mellow family football etc.
