The day in review

Now that I am rested and no longer covered in an attractive mixture of flour and stuffing, I thought I would let you know how my Thanksgiving went. First of all, I cooked all day. Although I had volunteered to do this, I realized that it's more fun to think about and plan than actually to do. My chocolate pecan pie was weird looking but tasty, the stuffing was almost up to par, and the turkey turned out MOIST. Who knew?? It was definitely worth all the work. By 7:00 I felt like I had a little bit of home here in Ireland. What with the cranberry sauce, the dressing, and the apple pie, I really felt like it was Thanksgiving.
