    Turkey. I'm shoving apples and carrots inside.
    Mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows
    Stuffing with pork sausage
    Red goop from a can
    String beans
    au gratin potatoes
    Gravy
    Salad
    Pumpkin pie
    Biscuits
    Deviled eggs if I go get paprika. Otherwise egg salad on toast.

    I'm forgetting something.

    That's quite the feast. I'm sure everything will turn out wonderfully! You certainly get an A for effort, the ultimate triumph.

    Happy Thanksgiving :)

    Nice shirt.

    Following speedy's advice. There's no physical way I can fry a whole Turkey.

    Everything came out good. I didn't think to take photos as proof of success. I did take a picture of the turkey to try to get a friend to come over and take some but it's really blurry. He did come get some and said it was good. Unfortunately he did NOT take me up on my offer to let him wash the dishes soooooooooo any takers? I'll give you turkey!

    Overall it was a success. The Au Gratin potatoes got vetoed and the fresh mozzarella had spoiled so instead of salami and mozzarella I did salami and hard boiled egg.
    The turkey was surprisingly well cooked. It was not dry or burnt or undercooked. I'm told the skin was adequately crispy but I can't confirm cuz I don't eat skin. I still just don't like turkey.

    The only thing that went legitimately wrong was that the sausage got seriously over cooked because I left it in the pan on top of the stove covered to keep "warm" but it just kept cooking. Since it went into the stuffing though it didn't matter.

    I REALLY don't wanna do those dishes.

    There's literally no way for me to explain it without sounding like an asshole. The short version is my mom made me.

    However, I will say that one result of me not requiring the FDNY's assistance with my turkey today is that now I have to do X-mas dinner. for that occasion I am doing things MY WAY, with food I will actually eat.
    Which means I will have Chinese on speed dial. :)
