Thanksgiving Dinner

Most of the food

Just a picture to show what we have been doing all day...eating our way through this feast! We tried the Alton Brown recipe for turkey and it turned out soooo moist and flavorful. I had fresh rosemary and sage from my garden and stuffed the cavity with lemons and onions.
We also had homemade mushroom/celery/carrot/onion/apple/sausage/sage stuffing (made waaaaay too much!), the old green bean casserole standby, mashed potatoes, cran-blueberry-clementine sauce, and pan gravy.
I am stuffed. We had dinner around 2, and didn't have room for dessert until almost 7! We had pumpkin cream, and blueberry peach pies, and my friend Liz made something called green fluff that I had never had before.
I am thankful to feel this full and have good company to share our feast with. That, and having a husband who really pulled his weight in the kitchen!
