nobody said you can't celebrate thanksgiving twice. and i'll be honest, thursday just didn't feel like thanksgiving.
so we did it again, this time homemade!
yum!
and i learned a few things:
there is a very serious reason why this is a family holiday ...because doing it alone is too much work!
james is really good at mashing potatoes.
pull-a-part rolls take a long time.
sometimes the self popper in the turkey doesn't work.
eliminating the fine china saves time on dishes. (and nobody cares what they eat on.)
i'm the only one who likes real cranberry sauce.
and
a 22lb turkey is A LOT of food!

you are one amazing women!! i have never taken on the challange of a thanksgiving dinner. I told Jon that if we we are ever alone we are eating out.
Whatdidyougoanddothatfor? I saw your last post and thought that it was awesome that you took the stress out of the Holiday. Then you go and cook a 22lb turkey!!! It was awesome last year and I am sure it was awesome this year.
That food looks fantastic!
We did the same thing as you a few years back. We ate out with Nathan's brother and his family on Thanksgiving and I felt gypped so the next day I cooked up a big feast.
Mmmmmmm Looks delicious and beautiful. Next year you definately deserve to have someone do the cooking for you. And I know just the person...Me! Thanks, Marci for all you do while we are away. I love you!
