I learned my lesson from last year - I set the table the night before.
Maybe next year I'll diversify beyond origami Turkeys.

I was so sick I could barely speak. Mathieu, Rick and Ryan all
helped out in the kitchen to get the food ready. Mathieu is wearing
his chef's jacket. I staggered around trying not to breathe on anyone/thing.

This year, the plumbing worked perfectly. Our biggest crisis was
that the oven cooked turkey finished two hours early.

Uncle Bob, thanks for carving. In this plastic container you can see
the concoction I injected into the Cajun fried turkey. From left to

Rick called this picture "Men Work, Women Watch". Left to
right: Ryan, Cousin Nicole, Bob, Shawn, Cousin Sara Beth. In their
defense, the girls did a lot of serving and cleaning up. |
The Cajun bird cooked in 30 minutes and was moist and spicy. The dark
patch on the white breast meat is where some of the injected spices
still lingered. Mmmm. Spicy turkey. |
|
Thank you to everyone for cleaning up! We enjoy hosting!

What better way to end Thanksgiving than with a game of Munchkin.

Rick got to ride the Acela train home. I'm jealous.
