Thanksgiving 2008 will forever be remembered as one of the most delicious ever. Of course, it may have a little to do with the fact that I cooked the bird, it equally may be because of the delicious applie pie we had for dessert, and without a doubt it was because wine makes everything taste better. If you ever make mashed cauliflower don't forget to be extra liberal with the addition of wine.
Note for future Thanksgiving dinners, remember to remove both "internal packages" before cooking.
2nd note, the plastic tops of roasting pans are not oven safe... why they are included with a roasting pan still boggles my mind.
Special shout-outs to Jim for baking the best apple pie ever & displaying a great knack for carving, but not for removing the wing. Many many many thanks to Michelle for supplying the house, mimosas, stuffing, swedish meatballs sans the gravy, movie, green beans, and sour cream infused mashed potatoes. Laila is welcome to all future events! Bringing 4 bottles of liquor is a great way to get on my good side, quickly!
If a knife doesn't work, use the hands.
