Turkey Day...again

I think Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays! I LOVE to cook T-day dinner. Last year I cookedfor a bunch of Danes Family (aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, parents and lots of kids) totalling about 45 people. Now, don't get me wrong, I had a little help, but I did the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, a corn casserole, and gravy. It was the first time EVER I made non lumpy gravy! All by myself! With no help from anyone!! OK, so the accomplishment isn't Nobel Prize worthy, but it was some pretty kick ass gravy! I really enjoy cooking and entertaining. I also like the advantage of being in charge!

This year we are going to my mom and dad's out at the lake. there won't be 45 people, only 9 people, but that's ok too. My mom put me in charge of vegtables. woohoo. Last year I fed 45 people. Green bean casserole and corn? Where's the challenge in that? Oh well. I do have another party on the horizon, BUNCO CHRISTMAS! Now THAT'S a party! And it's at my house. I don't have to drive anywhere. Most of you know what that means ;)
