Thanksgiving

The girls were as excited for Thanksgiving as they would be for Christmas.  I was shocked how excited they were.  They both helped me cook too!  Ariana was excited when she saw the circle bacon.  Which was actually pancetta, Italian bacon.  She was bummed when I cut it up and put it in the stuffing.  The girls helped me by breaking up the bread for the stuffing.  Then Ariana was disappointed that she didn't get to use a sharp knife.  Yeah, she is not old enough for that.  Trevor made an apple pie and Ariana helped him with that.

Thanksgiving turned out good.  I was trying to perfect cooking turkeys.  Whenever I cook turkeys they never turn out right.  I follow the directions, use a meat thermometer, and use a pop up thermometer in the turkeys and they are still not done when I go to serve them.  This year I planned on the turkeys being done at 2pm and eating at 4pm.  At 4pm one turkey had just finished cooking and the other one still needed to cook another 45 minutes.  Good thing I cooked two!

I still have not mastered the turkey but I will.  I will cook another one but not on Thanksgiving.  Next year I am not doing Thanksgiving.  So I need to remember to read this before next Thanksgiving.  I am not doing Thanksgiving.
