I honestly think I was disappointed in myself this year in regards to Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone was happy with my wares but I feel I could have done so much better. It could have been because I was mentally on vacation. I took about 11 days off and didn't do much, loved it! I will take it up a notch for Christmas, for sure!
I was also disappointed in myself for not taking a picture of the turkey but I was majorly stressing at that point to get all the food on the table that I guess I just disregarded it. We had a traditional meal but no sweet potatoes, which was the biggest mistake. I think maybe that was why I felt like I was missing something. I won't be doing that again...
Overall the turkey was yummy (but ready too early), the ham was delish (yeah we have both...), the mashed potatoes were fluffy, the green bean casserole was creamy, the mac n cheese was super, the cranberry sauce was fabulous, the gravy was ok (I really prefer fresh turkey gravy but didn't make it since the stressing was getting to me...), the rolls were warm, the stuffing wasn't that great (and I LOVE stuffing...), the pumpkin pie was good (but took way too long to bake), and spending time as a family was terrific. So I guess overall it was good, just not as I have had in the past, miss my Mom's cooking but next year I shall do better!
Sorry for the short hiatus but I shall get back to clogging soon and I am thinking of doing a theme, maybe just start with A and see where it takes me...
Live, Laugh, Love!

I'm sure everything was WONDERFUL and we still need to catch up about our respective meals. I think it's funny your turkey came out early, and your pie too late because usually we have the opposite problem. And I'm glad you had a vacation, i'm sure you needed it. Love ya. :)
