This years thanksgiving feast was held at our house again. 15 people including those at the house attended, and we all enjoyed a wonderful feast.
Mel and I got up early (around 8) to begin preperation of the bird. I had scored a 23lb turkey from Albertsons for $5, so Mel stuff it to the hilt, and we bagged it up and put it in the oven. The rest of the day was spent preparing deviled eggs, salads, veggie trays, and much much more. Trying not to shoulder all of the cost this year, we had everyone who came bring something. Some brought some pies, and some brough some salads. One of the family members is an employee of Oil Can Henrys, and was given a turkey for the holiday. Zach came over a little earlier and setup a deep fryer in the back yard so he could cook the smaller bird outside. A few years ago he had tried this and char broiled the darned thing. This year, we all watched it like a hawk. It turned out much better than the last time. Melanee's bird turned out perfect, as usual. We plan on making turkey soup tonight with what leftovers there are after the numerous turkey sandwitches are pulled before then.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and now on to Christmas!!! :D
