Thanksgiving in Dubai

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 to shove 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:


















I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
