Ryan and I pulled off the Thanksgiving feast, and what a feast it was! We ran into a little trouble with the turkey not wanting to defrost. Ryan named the bird “Bush” and we gave him a bit of a “bath” this morning trying to get him nice and thawed out.
We were successful (provided neither one of us gets food poisoning this evening) and we just finished eating. Ryan, bless him, is in the kitchen doing the dishes. I’ve done four rounds (small kitchen so you have to keep up with the dishes) and I’m worn out.
For my first ever turkey adventure, I think it went very well. The meat was tender and fell right off the bone with almost no effort. And, perhaps even more amazing for this single girl, I somehow managed to get everything done at the same time! I’ll be posting some pics and recipes and maybe something thoughtful about Thanksgiving later.
