turkey day

Yesterday I cooked my first Thanksgiving meal for Brandon and I, since it was just the two of us. There was a hitch or two, such as the turkey wasn’t done when I thought it would be and the outside was too salty (but the inside was tasty!). Since the turkey wasn’t done when I thought it would be, we had a mostly vegetarian meal: mashed potatoes, green beans, fresh baked rolls, cornbread stuffing, pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Mmm, it was tasty. If I make Thanksgiving meals again anytime soon maybe I’ll learn some lessons about turkey. Everything else was good though. I think my stuffing was the best part. I was going to make the stuffing my dad usually makes, which is a pork stuffing, but I couldn’t remember all the ingredients that go in it. So instead I winged it a little and make some cornbread stuffing. Mmm. I should have made more, as we had it for leftovers for dinner tonight and now it’s all gone. Boo hoo. There’s still some cornbread left though so I could probably whip up a bit more if I feel so inclined.

Besides the food, Thanksgiving was a nice, low key day. Brandon and I watched some Firefly and played with Maya. It’s been a nice, relaxing, lo-key kind of week. I hope everyone had an equally enjoyable day.
