Stuffed. Yeah.

Yay Turkey Day! We got up late, said goodbye to Victor and got started on stuffing the bird. It was Jared's first Thanksgiving away from home (!) so I made/let him stuff the turkey. It was hilarious and fun. And at least he didn't try to stuff it through the neck like I did last year, one painstaking piece at a time.Unfortunately my gravy didn't really turn out - lets just say Nic and Jared were calling it "space gravy" given that you could pretty much slice it. Yeah. Hmm. I've never been great with gravy. Instead we stuffed our (admittedly 2nd rate - it looked like it had been on the bad end of a knife fight) turkey and surrounded it with brown sugar coated yams and chopped onions. It smelled amazing, and was really yummy. It was good. We all relaxed and sat together and enjoyed ourselves and were thankful, thought of our friends, close and absent, and sliced the gravy.
