Here is my Thanksgiving post! Mark had to get back to work, so he left at night (Tuesday) and drove all night long up to Cedar Hills, but Tootsie stayed. Grandma and Grandpa also came down to have Thanksgiving with us! Erik smoked a turkey this year, he was planning on it and looking forward to it. I also tried my hand at making homemade cranberry sauce. Other than that, it was our standard, typical Thanksgiving dinner feast! Everything turned out quite well, the turkey was a success, and I liked my cranberry sauce. After eating Thanksgiving dinner...well I don't think we did much but hang around because we were so full and there was nowhere to go. I'm sure we watched movies. In any case, a fun and delicious Thanksgiving day! Here are the pictures I took of the dinner:
The turkey looked like a monsterous butterfly. Erik took out the giblets to make gravy. I don't believe the gravy turned out that great.
Cranberries are used to make red dye, and I believe it! Cranberries have such a beautiful, intense red color. The gorgeous red color, delicious smell, and the sound of them popping while under heat was a feast of the senses. I enjoyed making this sauce, and especially enjoyed eating it!
Grandma and Ian almost matched! Grandma wore her Thanksgiving apron and Ian wore his (very silly) thanksgiving vest.
The turkey after taking it out of the smoker. Yum!
Already to eat!
The buffet spread.
My plate full of yums. Just missing the roll!
Thanksgiving was great, and the dinner was delicious! It was a fun time with the kids, and Ian looked very festive in his vest.
