Cooking my first Thanksgiving meal
Yesterday was a first for me. With Lushie at 31.5 weeks preggers and teaspoon being born at 32 weeks the docs gave her strict orders that it was up to me to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Not just for 3 of us but for 9 (my mom, bro and his family)!
I’ve cooked a turkey in a deep fryer before but this was a completely different experience. One that I’m proud to say turned out perfect. The side dishes weren’t that hard at all. In fact the most time consuming part was the 25 potatoes that I had to peel, then mash, and whip. I’m a taters freak so it was a labor of love.
The meal was absolutely perfect for our first one in our house and I did take a moment to sit back to savor the moment. For whatever reason my mom refused to believe that I did any of the cooking. Probably because she kept raving about how moist and good the food was and it pisses them off when I can do something they can’t, and well. She did give me the quote of the night which I’ll bring up tomorrow because I want to keep things positive.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Teaspoon and I are going to watch the Backyard Brawl and flip over to the Pens vs Sens game.
cheers!
