Play by play on our Thanksgiving for Two




Well Thanksgiving has come and gone.
So quickly already?! Thanksgiving day was mostly spent in the kitchen; me whipping up yummy TG goodness, and Hubs on my trail cleaning up all my messes.

TG lunch was a bit of a let down! The pumpkin soup didn't turn out as I had imagined, it was actually a bit bland. It was very cute in the hollowed out pumpkins, though. We have a TON left over too... not sure what we're going to do with it!

After lunch was over I was already tireeeeed. After years of training my body to nap on TG what else was it to expect?! So Hubs made me some tea, and we kept charging on! It was time to prep the turkey... ohh dear. Something about raw poultry freaks me out to the high heavens, and how when you grab the turkey you feel the flesh slide around on the bones! (gag!) I was freaking out! And Hubs decided it was a great time to leave me alone with the turkey (you know he has raw poultry fears too!). So I was brave, and I grabbed that little turkey, and I rinsed it, and pulled out the giblets, and seasoned it, and stuffed it, and threw that turkey in the oven. I conquered. Someone had to save TG from the evil raw poultry (and you know it wasn't going to be Hubs).


Fast forward about 2 hours and I am sending Hubs to the store (I know! On TG!! How horrible!) to get more chicken broth because I used more than expected on that darn pumpkin soup. While he was gone I was whipping up all the sides at the same time, I actually impressed myself!
Hubs returned, and he was set to work carving the turkey: I'm not sure he was ready for this task, he kept saying "well... it's not perfect". Poor Hubs, he did a good job!

Then we ate. ...It was a little quiet without all the family :-(

The food was so yummy and we were so full that we didn't even eat any pumpkin pie! (I know!) So we cleaned up and spent the rest of the evening playing Wii :-D After all it was about time for some sitting down!


Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
