A friend and I hosted a family from our church for a second Thanksgiving this year. We had turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, broccoli salad, yeast rolls and olives. It was the first time either or us had cooked a turkey or done the dressing. The dressing didn't come out quite right the first time - I didn't add enough juice. But the second time I got it right. Who knew that dressing is the one dish you can do a second try on.
The international table setting - plates (Japan), table cloth (Iran), basket (Singapore), etc, etc.
Don't forget their are two cavaties with "stuff" inside. We named our bird Simon, after Simon Cowell. We don't have Saturday morning cartoons. We have Saturday morning re-runs of American Idol. The "stuff" was stuck. Simon was still frozen on the inside, even though I took him out of the freezer on Tuesday. This is what earned him the name Simon.
Simon taking a really hot bath to defrost his insides.
The defrosted, seasoned, somewhat stuffed Simon. We put the leftover celery from the dressing and an onion inside for flavor.
I forgot to take a "fresh out of the oven" picture. Actually, I forgot to pick my camera up again until after the guests left. Duh! Anyway, I'm thinking they liked it from the looks of things here.
