HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!Seems nothing I do today is going as planned. The great thing about it is we are getting some really great laughs about all of it. I am still living in the haze of this cold so I am using that as my excuse today. First I get up at 7 am, I am not a morning person btw, to make my turkey. Normally I don't make a whole bird. Instead I make turkey and dressing sandwiches. I found that the family is happier with the sandwiches than the plain turkey. So it has become tradition in our house. Only this Thanksgiving Jenni-o has a new package that looks like the package of the turkey I normally buy and this new turkey has a bone in it still. ACK! I can't use that for my turkey dressing sandwiches. Plan B we are having a normal turkey this year. I had to promise my husband I would make the turkey and dressing sandwiches sometime during the winter. Back to the story. After we laughed about having to change up the menu a little bit, I start to season the turkey breast. I purchase most of my spices at Sam's so they are industrial sized. I went to put some black pepper on the turkey and didn't realize I had the huge opening opened. I had about one cup of pepper pour over the turkey! We laugh about that and move on. No big deal. Then I go to cut up the sweet potatoes, rotten! I mean gross and completely nasty. Ted runs to the store and they say they got a bad shipment yesterday so he could get six new sweet potatoes from a new shipment. He comes home, we peel cut and bake thinking they looked better but not quite normal. They were bad too! So, no sweet potatoes this year. By the way, did anyone else have bad sweet potatoes this year?? So, my turkey is cooking, cheesy potatoes in the oven and the green bean casserole. Let's hope all else goes well!
Do you have any funny Thanksgiving stories this year?
