Honestly it is one of my favorite dinners to cook.
I make these cabernet cranberries a couple days ahead of time.
The day before I make this chocolate pie and this pecan pie The recipe calls for bourbon. I put in two tbls of Makers Mark and it was amazing!
I make sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing in the bird, dinner rolls, and of course a monster turkey.
My gravy game is off the hook.
I set my sweet potatoes on fire.
ON FIRE
Calmly calling to the guests in the living room
'fire in the kitchen, we have a fire in the kitchen'
D grabbed the dish from the oven, flames leaping high and put them out on the grill where I believe there are still some hot spots...

| see the remaining hot spots... this was about an hour after the fire. |
Why do I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner? I love the leftovers of Thanksgiving dinner.
When I don't torch my sweet potatoes I eat them for breakfast the whole rest of the weekend.
Oh well...

My niece and her husband joined us for dinner Wednesday night.
I introduced my mom to one of my dearest friends Friday night.
Took a road trip out to Told Yarn. Mom loved the store. I bought two more skeins of Woolfolk Sno and Tynd to make another Morning Walk Hat. Mom bought yarn to knit a sweater that she left for me to complete for her :)
So we're back to our routine.
Mom arrived back home safely.
