Thanksgiving!!

Yesterday (and today) was a time of delicious feasting.  Thanks to recipes from friends and family, Susan and I were able to brine and roast a turkey, make garlic mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, green bean casserole, rolls, and cranberry sauce plus (Ocean Spray with some added deliciousness).  

We took it all over to a friend's house and ate as much as our little stomachs could hold.  Had I known how good everything would be, I would have engaged in stomach stretching training for the past few weeks, to prepare.  It has been 24 hours and I have had no reports of food poisoning from the turkey so I officially declare this Thanksgiving a success!

so grossed out by the whole process of cooking turkey

turns out, if you add enough sugar, carrots are delcious

quite proud of these - my first successful attempt at rolls

someday I'll be grown up enough to be this fancy...until then, glad for friends who are willing to host!
