Happy Thanksgiving!

I meant to post this earlier in the week, since most of you probably won't check your emails today. I started coming down with something on Sunday and boy was I perturbed because I am cooking most of the food for the holiday! It turned out to be a mild cold (I was certainly praying that it was not a flu), but one day there I felt pretty wicked.

I am still a little congested, but getting better. I didn't take any medication, but I drank tons of tea with cayenne pepper in it. I am telling you, that stuff really helps tremendously with sinus issues!

We have a small group for dinner today; Craig, Gabe, Grandma Deb and myself. Deb is bringing some side dishes and dessert, I am doing the rest. This is the first time ever that I am cooking a turkey. I'll report back on how it goes.

The following are some really funny pics of Gabe I meant to post maybe a week ago. In the first one, he looks like he is dancing, and in the second one he looks like he is really getting down or possibly terribly upset. LOL. Enjoy!

How did your turkey turn out? I have cooked one twice with decent results. Or so they tell me. LOL I don't eat it.

Shana, I bought my turkey from Trader Joe's and it was a brined turkey, which I hear helps keep it moist. I used a recipe for Apricot-glazed turkey w/ onion and shallot gravy and I must say it was very excellent.
