We celebrated Thanksgiving today (Friday). We planned on buying a duck this year since we don't have a roasting pan, but we found a half turkey at Lulu's, so we brought that home instead. This is the first year I've cooked a turkey for Thanksgiving, and it turned out pretty good!
It was small enough toshove put in the crockpot. I rubbed the skin with sea salt, then poured cranberry sauce all over the top, and let it cook for about 4 hours. Then I put the whole dutch oven into the big oven for another hour and basted it with butter. Yum!
I also made stuffing (Joe's Maw-Maw's recipe), garlic mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet peas, and a lemon pound cake. It actually smelled like Thanksgiving in here :)
Here's my plate. Mmmmmm.
I cut apart some of Colin's 18-month pajamas and made a turkey shirt for the festivities. Here's some pictures of him after Thanksgiving dinner:

What a great Thanksgiving! We love the big family events too, but some of our favorite Thanksgiving memories are the first ones as parents in our new home - smaller, less hoopla, but also very intimate and relaxing. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious! Glad you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving!
