Thanksgiving 2010...

The Guthrie's had their third annual Thanksgiving poker game and both ended up winners. Can;t ask for more than that! After all the guests went home, I got busy cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, Jessica cooked. Seriously. And, with the baking yesterday and the cooking today, I think I am good on the cooking front for another year. It's kind of like wearing a dress to the Marine Corps prom - once a year is just perfect.

The boys thought it was weird that Mom was cooking, but Dad enjoyed sitting around making fun of Mom while she cooked. The house did not burn down and all of the food turned out beautifully: Roasted turkey from Honeybaked (thanks Pen Air), gravy, sweet potato casserole (a nod to the mother), almond green beans (found on the Internet and VERY tasty), rolls, stuffing (Pepperidge farms stuffing I got cheap from the "bread man" at work - 75 cents!), deviled eggs (a nod to the mother-in-law) and cranberry sauce. Topped it all off by heating up a frozen Dutch Apple Pie and making it a la mode. And we should have enough leftovers to keep Rodney happy for at least 36 hours (nod to the spouse.) Funny moment: Xan wanted to know who shot the turkey.
