Well, we hosted Thanksgiving for the first time.
Karina invited a friend of hers to bring her family.
I made the turkey using a brine and honey overnight marinade, a tasty gravy and made my great mashed potatoes, Karina and her friend did the rest - Sweet potatoes, salad, pies galore, stuffing, orange-cranberry sauce, and more.
We pigged. William overdid it enough he was writhing in agony, saying "why did I eat so much!". Heh heh, hopefully he'll learn. ;-)
Karina did a gorgeous job setting the table.
The turkey was a hit, Karina said it was the best she'd ever tasted.
We've been eating turkey every day since until today (Tuesday), phew, gobble gobble, uh oh, maybe I'm turning into a turkey (you are what you eat). :-P

All in all, no disasters and such, so it was an ok t-day.
It would have been nice to have spent it with a little more family, but it was ok for a first hosting. ;-)

You have any thanksgiving day stories/adventures/mishaps to share? Please reply to this post. ;-)
