Thanksgiving was great this year. Gathered at my sister's house in the morning, where I cooked a turkey using the Cook's Illustrated recipe for Old Fashioned Stuffed Turkey. That recipe always works like a charm. Here is the bird after it came out of the oven:
The picture doesn't do the bird justice. Here is a picture of my brother-in-law, Paul, carving up the turkey (my sister Vanessa is in the background):
Here is a shot of my husband with a brew as I snapped pictures of the bird:
And here is my sister's dog, Jackson, who was very shy and ran away every time I tried to take a picture of him until my niece helped me out:
It was a good time. Later in the day, I went with my husband to our second Thanksgiving dinner at the Copeland house. Another round of turkey and stuffing was consumed. Here are the pies I made for dessert:
The pumpkin is just a straight up version of Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe with a homemade crust. The other is my Mom's apple pie recipe. They were delicious.
All in all, it was an excellent thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for with my new house, my new car, a good job, my health, my husband, my family, my friends, my cats... Man, that is a lot of stuff to be thankful for.
