Thanksgiving

Today was really a great day. It was our first Thanksgiving with just the two of us. I was a little nervous that it might be one big flop. Daniel's family always goes all out on Thanksgiving that I really had a lot to live up to. I actually started yesterday with the cooking. I made the pies (toll house and coconut cream) and corn bread (for the stuffing) on Wednesday. Today, we woke up early to get started on the rest of the food. It was definitely an interesting experience preparing the turkey. I didn't want to touch the raw turkey at first, but then I got the hang of it and had my hands in between the skin and meat. It was kinda fun actually. After 3 hours in the oven, we started on all the other fixings. Stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, corn and broccoli. YUM!!

Daniel was really excited about being able to carve his first turkey. He did a pretty amazing job. One thing that was a little disappointing, was that it took 2 days to make all the food, and 10 minutes to eat. It was kinda sad. We hardly made a dent though, and will have left overs for the next 2 weeks.

Later that night, we went to watch Twilight. It was pretty good. I had heard some bad reviews, and so I didn't have high expectations. But of course, just like any other movie, the books are so much better.
