I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Although it was kind of unfortunate that we spent Thanksgiving alone, it was nice to have a quiet one. We did, however, celebrate Thanksgiving with some friends two weeks ago. I really wanted to gather all of our friends in town and spend some time together, as I knew that each of us would go our separate ways for the holiday. I made my first turkey (I’ll post pics up as soon as I find the connector from the camera to the computer) and it turned out well!…except that I couldn’t find the giblets and I put a little too much flour in the turkey bag, but hey, it was the moistest turkey I’ve ever made! :) I did make some pies (pumpkin – that didn’t turn out well) and apple pie (I really liked how it turned out!). I also made stuffing and gravy (from the packet, as I didn’t have any time to make real gravy with real turkey leftovers. Maybe next year! :) I popped the cranberry sauce out of the can (I love the flavor compared to real cranberries – unless somebody can prove me otherwise.
All in all our pre-Thanksgiving meal went well. We played Rock Band with our friends, made a Starbucks run and chatted a while. It was a great Thanksgiving! On the actual Thanksgiving Day I felt it was a lot of cooking/work for just two people, so we ate out at Hometown Buffet.
I’m so thankful for safety, friends, family, and especially my hubby. Even though we’ve had a rough year I’m so thankful that he’s a part of my life.
