Fallen Souffle

Today is a food lovers dream. My Mom had most of Thanksgiving done by the time I got here yesterday. I worked ten hours at the bakery on Tuesday, getting off at 10pm them turned right around and went in at 5am to knead bread. I was so tired yet so thankful that I had the chance to do something that I love to do, even though I was dog tired and didn’t get to see my husband at all.

I got to sleep on the drive to VA which was really nice. We had baked pasta and asiago pesto bread from the bakery, I think I brought about 15 pounds of bread from the bakery!

This morning after sleeping in till about 10 this morning thanks to my loving Evan we had cinamon swirl french toast and coffee. After loafing a bit, Mom and I started on the rest of dinner while Evan and my Dad started on the fried turkey. Fried turkey is THE way to cook turkey, I will have detailed instructions and pictures later this weekend.

Our menu consisted of:
Fried Turkey with Blackened Seasoning
Sweet Potato Casserole
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Roasted Broccoli
Cranberry sauce, fresh and from the can for my sister
Peas and Shallots
Rosemary Garlic Stuffing
Wheat and White Rolls

I will have pictures up this weekend.

I am so thankful for the past year and I look forward to the year to come. I have a wonderful husband who I am madly in love with, parents who are so supportive and understanding and unconditionally loving, a sister who is my best friend and my constant source of laughter, and two dogs that are always there to brighten my day. And I am honestly very thankful for the events that have happened in the past because I believe they have not only made my stronger but have forced me to be a happier person.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, I hope you all had a wonderful day!
