Thanksgiving was a success this year if I do say so myself. I had the fortunate opportunity to be house sitting in a house that has a HUGE kitchen which made my life much easier. We were joined by my aunt and uncle (who brought a fabulous free range turkey), dear friends Lance, Mary, Jason and Anita. The total head count was 9 (ten if you count the dog that I'm watching who partook in a few little turkey bites), I think my largest thanksgiving yet.
On the menu:
FRIED TURKEY (dad did all the work on this, although I prepped the bird)
mashed potatoes (also known as Crack Taters...)
sweet potatoes (mom makes really good sweet potatoes)
green beans
roasted beets
baked corn
rolls
stuffing
gravy
pumpkin cheesecake
pecan pie (Anita made a fantastic pecan pie)
We had to jerry rig the fryer but it was worth it, probably the best turkey yet.
Christmas decorations are going up, what a great time of year!
