Happy Thanksgiving!

It was my intention (road to hell alert!) to photograph my Thanksgiving meal as I cooked all day today so I could describe the mishaps for you.

There were mishaps of course. But I kept forgetting to photograph things. (Mishap 1.) I’m two drumsticks short of a full turkey.

Here are some photos I remembered to take. THERE ARE NO PEOPLE IN THEM. Apparently, if you don’t wag your tail or hiss at me, my camera doesn’t recognize your existence. (Mishap 2.)

Cooked the smallest turkey breast I could find. Cooked beautifully. However, not pictured here, it was close to the edge of the pan and rolled over while cooking, spilling turkey juice on my oven floor. (Mishap 3.)

Cornbread dressing: not a problem. Except when I was putting it together, I dropped a bunch of chopped celery on the floor. Not an issue for Delta. (Mishap 4.)

My kind of cranberry sauce! Lines from the can! As the Universe intended when it invented cans. You know what the Universe also intended? For me to scorch the green beans. (Mishap 5.)

At least I remembered to bring this guy out for his annual appearance. I feel like he’s judging me.

Here’s the day’s menu, and everyone was stuffed from it (the point of Thanksgiving, I think): ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, macaroni and cheese, asparagus, dressing, green beans, purple hull peas, fried okra, and iced tea. The yeast rolls are NOT IN THE PHOTO. Neither are the pumpkin and pecan pies Debby made. (Mishap 6.)

Y’all want leftovers?
