This is a pictorial 
review of my Thanksgiving, beginning with the Turkey I roasted myself! This is the first Thanksgiving in a few years that my family and I have been able to be together, and I am very excited! I knew I was happy about it, but didn’t realize until today how excited I was!!!!! Yay! For those of you that may not know, I AM NOT a cook. So, with that statement hopefully you can understand my bird excitement! It was really easy to do too. I defrosted it in the fridge since Monday, and then took it out this morning and took out the giblets (yes, I did remember that 
) and stuck him in a 350 degree oven for about 4 hours. I started checking him at 3 hours, but it took a full 4 for him to look like this. I started out with him in this little disposable roasting pan, and stuffed an onion inside for flavor and rubbed a little butter and salt on the outside. Then I covered the pan with tinfoil for the first 3 hours and took the foil off for the last hour. I hope it tastes as good as it looks! We will find out at 4 PM.
I also watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, for the maybe 44th time in my life. Thanksgiving is not Thanksgiving without me watching that parade! Here are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy too….
First, my favorite of favorites!
Second, their turkey. I think mine is better Alton Brown from Food Network was the pilgrim on top….
Third, another favorite, Kermie!
Next, Hello Kitty! Another big fav in my house.
The last few are:
Yep, Horton hears a Who with his little Who clover, the Pillsbury Dough Boy and The Smurfs.
Santa of course ended the parade, but sadly I wasn’t able to take a pic of him in time. But I’m sure he’ll show up again, probably about December 25th.
The last picture I have to share is of the pecan pie Daughter number one made for us. I can’t wait to take a bite…yum! She’s an old pro at them, she has made 3 or 4 now….I’m so excited! My Daddy is coming too….we are going to have a wonderful meal!
So, as I depart to put the finishing touches on this fabulous family gathering, I will share with you one of my favorite ditties:
May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump, may your potatoes and gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize, and may your THANKSGIVING dinner stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Let me know how much you are enjoying your day as well! Angela
