Thanksgiving

Happy T-Day [video]

Not really much going on right now so I wanted to do a quick video. I prepared a few of the other stuff like fudge and fruit salad and now got my Turkey in the oven trying a few new things this year on it, so we will see how it goes. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Day Before

Tomorrow is the day. Most know that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Turkey, Stuffing, Pumpkin Pie and Football! What could you not like about it? I have made it a tradition that I cook the Turkey however this year I will be cooking everything. Mostly because it will just be me, Melissa and the kids. My Grandma will be making an appearance as well. Normally we have around 14 people over, not this year. The shorten guest list is not keeping me from cooking a huge dinner though. Not as big as it would be with more but more then we will need. In fact, here is my food list;

  • 18lbs Turkey
  • 7lbs Ham (topped with pineapple and cherries)
  • Stuffing
  • Mash Potatoes
  • Brown Gravy
  • Deviled Eggs
  • Corn on the Cob
  • Green Beans
  • Fruit Salad
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Cherry Pie
  • Pecan Pie
  • Fudge
  • Cookies

I will be the sole cook this time so we will see how things go as its a lot to cook and the first time that I’ve had to cook it all. Melissa has to work until 5pm so we won’t be eating until late so I have time to get everything done before she gets home. Overall it should be a great Thanksgiving and I’m looking forward to it. Look for pictures and maybe a video tomorrow as well.
