For some unknown reason, James and I decided that it would be fun to host Thanksgiving this year so I bought the bird and made the fixings. Okay truth was that James and I made the turkey and our family made everything else. But hey the turkey was a massive 22 pounds and it was my first experience cooking with the slimy poultry. Everything went well up until we had to put it in the oven and the oven would not heat up! I was panicking, thinking of what I could come up with instead. Burgers? Mac and Cheese? Cereal? But as luck would have it, okay we both prayed over the oven, it started heating up and we had a cooked bird! Pretty good too.
I have the before and after shots of the turkey, but didn't get the right out of the oven shot. I was too scatter brained to think about the darn camera. Good times by all but I am tired! Next year I plan on showing up at eating time and then going home. Props to all who host Holiday dinners. I don't know how you do it year after year.

that bird looked good. James has plenty of experience with Thanksgiving turkeys... one year in Poland we had to prepare 3 birds. one in the apartment, one in the kaplica kitchen and one in the hallway. One of my favorite memories.
Good work! I wouldn't know where to begin hosting the biggest meal of the year. How fun to spend the holiday in your new home.
Great pic of James.
We really miss you guys!
