Happy Thanksgiving 2008!

Thanksgiving dinner actually went well this year. Dad complimented something someone cooked and it was something I cooked! It was my bird! I took a few pictures of some of the stuff I cooked just to share with you guys...

Cranberry sauce is one of the best parts of the Thanksgiving meal in my opinion. Here is my cranberry sauce cooking!

It was delicious!

I mashed my sweet potatoes with a butter and brown sugar glaze, then added an egg and baked them. I thought they turned out awesome. Everyone said they were good.
My brother and I think this picture looks kind of dirty. [Totally looks like two potatoes are getting it on while the third watches...lmao]

My bird [BEFORE] I made a rub concocted of sage, kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and cumin, then I cute slits in the breasts in which I inserted pats of butter.

My bird [AFTER] After five hours at 350 degrees it turned into this. It was tender, juicy, not one bit dry anywhere that I found and everyone kept complimenting me on it!


I am really glad there was no fussing or fighting this year. I cooked everything myself, so no one else was in the kitchen to bitch with anyways...
Well, hopefully this post finds you all well.
