Thanksgiving Dinner

We had a successful Thanksgiving dinner at our house last night. We had Dan's dad, Eric and Shannon over for dinner. I did the whole dinner, including turkey! I did take a shortcut, and we had turkey breast instead of the whole bird. We narrowly averted a crisis when we realized upon returning from our trip that Dan had accidentally put the bird in the freezer instead of the fridge. Oops.

It all worked out, and we served turkey breast with rosemary, thyme and apples, turkey stuffing, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, green beans with bacon and onions, salad, and the grand finale, homemade apple pie.

We even managed to prepare some appetizers - I made deviled eggs and potato skins with cheese and bacon (yum!). I'll definitely be making both of those again soon!

I can't wait for leftovers, and we'll also do turkey soup later this week. I think I've gained three pounds already this holiday season!
