We hosted our first Thanksgiving. My parents and my sister-in-law, Stacy, joined us. The menu included turkey, mashed potatoes, squash, stuffing, creamed onions, rolls and green beans. For dessert we had apple pie, pumpkin pie and chocolate chip and sugar cookies.
I was a bit stressed out about the turkey and making sure it was not under or over cooked. I used an internal meat thermometer and an instant read one. It cooked more quickly than I expected but came out nicely. George humored me as I fretted with the thermometer and the constant checking and re-checking of the temperature and the placement of the thermometer in the bird.
My mom gave me pointers as I made the gravy. Now I have that down too.
It was a great day surrounded by loved ones and good food. We have a lot to be thankful for!
