Thanksgiving 2009

November 26, 2009

Things I’m thankful for:

1. That I now have a blog (even with all its stupid CSS glitches) that I can post stuff like this on.
2. That I’ve been able to fight a good fight against my impending food coma (or else these sentences may not be as coherent as they otherwise would be).

Okay, that was totally a “things I’m thankful for” cop-out, but the writing isn’t the point of this post – I just wanted to post Thanksgiving pictures.

Just as some background: The brother and I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the past couple of years because…well…the mom hates to cook. Plus, she has this health freak thing where she never follows the recipe because it has “too much (blank) in it” (e.g. butter, sugar, salt, fat, etc. – all the stuff that makes food delicious). Thus, we usually take over so she’ll never know how unhealthy our Thanksgiving dinner really is.

This year, she wanted to cook. The brother and I got bored and ended up cooking all the sides anyway, but mom was in charge of the bird. We were worried – we shouldn’t have been. Her turkey blew TGFY07 and TGFY08 turkeys out of the water. No competition.

See that? That’s a fine looking turkey.

Anyway, hope everyone else’s Thanksgiving spreads were as good (and filling!) as mine. Now to give in to the tryptophan…

(NOTE: For those looking for a good dry-brined turkey recipe, refer to the LA Times)
