Tomorrow's turkey day, and I'm cooking everything, and I'm doing it pretty much from scratch. I love it! I've got a 15-pound turkey soaking in a brine, mashed potatoes ready for the crock pot, breadcrumbs drying, cranberry pomegranate sauce chilling, and a pumpkin cheesecake in the over. I can't wait to pull it all together tomorrow!
The only thing that would make it better would be having more of my family around me to enjoy the day with us. I miss spending Thanksgiving with Dale and Patty, and Patty's parents, my parents, Johnny and his family, Amber and Steve, and Rachel and Ted. We used to have a nice, cozy, little crowd every Thanksgiving. Having that crowd around would make for an amazing Thanksgiving.
Well, that, and having a little less tension. I don't know why, but Thanksgiving always seems a little tense in our house. It should be about relaxing, and eating good food, and visiting with family and good friends. But instead our day often ends up with everyone cranky and stressed out. I've got my fingers crossed for this year, though... I think it CAN be a good day!
