hurrah!

my turkey turned out great! at least that's what everybody said and i have no reason to think that they would lie to me. :) it was a recipe that susan got from real simple. i think they called it molasses butter turkey. and the use of the oven bag kept the turkey from going overly dry. it was pretty tasty! there were a ton of leftovers, so we put them in tupperware for people to take home. we'll all be eating thanksgiving food for days. hurrah!


this was our pretty food table. everybody brought something. there was creamed corn, creamed spinach with artichoke, couscous with tofu (so good!), green beans, pillsbury cheddar biscuits, garlic mashed potatoes, and salad with sesame-style dressing. there was a lot of food. oh, and sam made some great strawberry lemonade, better than red robin's, i tell you.

and in between waiting, eating, and resting, we watched the end of dodgeball, 50 first dates, and episodes of ducktales. and played apples to apples and taboo. i got to introduce apples to apples to everybody and for the first time in a while, the girls did not beat the boys at taboo. it was 103 to 104. it seemed like a suspicious win for the boys.

and before everybody went home, i had to take a group photo. the photo is missing grace and joe, who came by for games...yay!
