Turkey Time.....

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a much needed break, that's for sure! I had lots of plans to get things accomplished but I really just rested and relaxed. I started to feel sick on Tuesday night and it was a full blown head cold by Wednesday night. Needless to say, I didn't make it to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I did get up at 5:00 am and showered and got ready....I just didn't get out the door since I felt horrible. Instead, I put my turkey in the oven, went back to bed, and woke up 3 hours later when it was ready and completely dried out. Oops!I had a nice dinner...I just couldn't taste it. Yes...my table looks ghetto. I know! Since I don't have many bowls and serving dishes, I had to keep my turkey in the foil tray and my mashed potatoes in a fancy plastic container from my local take-out Chinese joint. It worked.
I was happy about how I served my gravy though. Sure, it isn't a traditional gravy boat, but it is an awesome pitcher that I bought with my mom in Costa Rica. They served us water in these little mini pitchers at a restaurant and I fell in love with them. Here's to hoping to not be sick again next year and to spending the holiday with family. Cheers!
