So and me and bf decided to volunteer to cook thanksgiving
for his family for this year. We decided to make from scratch: Garlic Bread for
appy. BBQ free range turkey with beer up his butt, homemade gravy, garlic
mashed potatoes, stuffing, stir fried green beans with minced chicken, homemade
perogies with sour cream, baked yam fries with garlic aioli and a homemade
apple pie. We started of prepping on Saturday morning. We went to buy groceries
and then headed home to prep the dough for the pie and the perogies, garlic
bread. I brined the turkey with rosemary, thyme, oranges, lemon, peppercorns
and salt.
Sunday night was our thanksgiving dinner. We woke up at 10am
and we started cooking till 7pm. It was a very long day. Overall everything
turned out well except the garlic bread which I believe was over worked in the
dough department so that didn’t work out so well but other than that everything
was a success! Overall a long tired day but a delicious meal all worth it!
On Monday it was my family’s turn to get together for
Thanksgiving. Thankfully my brother prepped most of the work from turkey to
stuffing to gravy. He did a wonderful job! My sisters made the mashed potatoes
and the vegetables while I had made an apple pie the previous day. Overall a delicious
meal that left us with filled tummies and food coma. Monday was a well-rested
day and a well fed day!
This year I’m super grateful for my family, my mom
especially for her hard work and her dedication in keeping up with all of us.
For dealing with our wants and needs. Thankful for my siblings and all we had
been through together. I love them each individually. Bonnie for being like a
mom, Bernice for being a kid at heart at all times, Clinton for being the dad.
For being supportive and over taking some responsibilities in the home.
Thankful for my friends for being there as always for their support in all I
do. Thankful for my bf for always being there for me when I am in need. For
always loving me for who I am. It was truly a wonderful thanksgiving holiday
full of good food and wonderful company. Even though some people might thank
that holidays like this is overrated. I am glad we have these holidays to do
special things for our families and putting our lives on hold to spend time
with family.
