Happy Thanksgiving!

I've only cooked one turkey in my life, and by all accounts, it turned out pretty good. It didn't turn out like the Griswald's turkey on Christmas Vacation, and nobody left my house with food poisoning. Like I said, it turned out pretty good.

With our Thanksgiving weekend upon us, it is again my turn to cook the turkey. We are keeping our dinner small this year. My fiance is still grieving the loss of his mother and doesn't want a big 'to-do'. I know exactly how he feels. The last thing I wanted when I was grieving was to be around a lot of people and trying to put on a happy face. When in reality, I wanted to be nowhere.

This turkey is different. I'm completely on my own for this one. In my last shot at the turkey, I had many experienced turkey cookers to help me along. I wish I would have paid more attention to the tutorials!! Happy Thanksgiving!
