That's just sad. Do you at least have a lot of leftovers?

There were nine of us for Thanksgiving……us seven and then my SIL and her son. I had a great time cooking it all up that morning (after using the water method to thaw the bird, THANKS!). The house smelled delicious all day. I stuck to the usual recipe but did add some deviled egg snacks to get the kids through to the FEAST (they LOVE deviled eggs……I do not). Not really a Thanksgiving dish but this was something new for me. They turned out pretty good.

Am proud to say that I accomplished all of this with only one oven rack (my other oven rack has mysteriously disappeared and no one will lay claim to its location…..welcome to my bizarre world. WHO takes an oven rack and what, for heaven's sake, would one do with an oven rack?)

We had a lovely day at my mom's. She cooked the main dishes but I brought a couple of sides and one dessert. I am particularly proud of the dessert – a dark chocolate cheesecake (recipe at epicurious.com) in a springform pan which I've never done before (the cheesecake or the pan). It came out fantastic looking and tasting which hardly ever happens for me!

I made a goose with wild rice stuffing… it was amazing! I am very proud of myself when I can actuality get something to turn out.

I did one totally new thing – the Apple Cranberry dressing that you published earlier. It was excellent. Pies were the same as I usually do, one blueberry and one apple. Blueberry is disappearing quickly as my DH has been eating it for breakfast.

our dinner was declicious and the company was wonderful. The onlyl thing i tried different was the dressing, I did it in the crock pot and did apples instead of water chesnuts. I will do the crock pot again, but totally missed the crunch of the water chestnuts

I got food poisoning from a take-out Cobb salad the night before and ate Cheerios and water all day.

HORRIBLE NOT HAPPY DO NOT WANT. I call do-over.

Our holiday was wonderful, I'm at my sister's in Denver. We did nothing new, but the turkey, dressing and gravy turned out great and my sister's MIL makes great pies. We all ate too much but it wouldn't be Thanksgiving if we didn't.
