This Thanksgiving was a great one. The food was great, almost everyone of the family was there and it was good conversation the whole time.
Every year my uncle Dennis fries the turkey. We all like to stand around to see the turkey drop like the ball on new years eve in time square.
At first it smells like french fries but then it just smells like fried chicken and you want to take it out immediately and eat it with some ketchup right there on the grass.
My cousins are in full teenager mode. Lazying about with no worries at all. And that's how it should be. Heck that's how it was when I was that age.
So let's go through the menu shall we. It was a wonderful one I have to admit.
Fried turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Shrimp dressing...( I have to admit when I took this on my plate that I only ate the shrimp off of it. I don't like dressing but I love shrimp)
Broccoli rice casserole
We also had rolls and green beans. It was a nice dinner and having everyone together felt like home.
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope everyone had a good holiday. Next up....Christmas!!
Yes it was a very nice day. Funny how when it's actually happening you feel like "eh" a little bit, but the anticipation and the re-living are both great!
