Turkey Day adventures

A picture of the "bird!"

So C and I held our 4th annual turkey extravaganza today. I must say we are starting to get the hang of this. We are much more efficient the first year I think it took us a total of 6 cooking hours today we only "cooked" for about 2 hours. Although for some reason every year we look at the potatoes when we are peeling them and say this will never be enough. The comes the run to the grocery store where we buy more and at the end of dinner we have too many potatoes and by too many I mean 10 pounds! We forgot to take pictures of our spread so close your eyes (after you read the list that follows!) and imagine.....a 10 lb turkey (only the breast this year...white meat is better for you...especially soaked in butter), 10 lbs of potatoes (literally!), yams, stuffing, crescent rolls, gravy, cookie salad, and cranberries....which C forgot until we were about 3/4 of the way through eating...Oh well....we can save them for LEFTOVERS!

We then baked the pie....pumpkin...homemade.....at the Sara Lee store! Then we fought about who had to stay awake to make sure the pie didn't burn and who got to fall asleep for a nap first. I won, C didn't like staying awake but made a mean pie. Remember all of this food is for just the 2 of us. I think that next year we are going to invite a hungry family over for turkey. That or we are just practicing for when we get to host with kids.

Anyway, we are now headed out to watch Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. Here is a link to the discription of the movie if you don't know which one we are talking about: http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/movie/four_christmases/review/724

Anyway, if we can get our camera to work we will have pictures from tomorrow's decoration of decadence at the JC Askvig House. Yep, we drink Mamosas (sp?) and put up x-mas decorations. J pretty much moves stuff and Crystal hangs Christmas stuff!

One last picture for the day. Even the cats, McKenzie and Lola got into the Triptophan!
