Giving Post Thanks

We survived our first Thanksgiving. But it wasn't easy. Determined to do nothing all day (except cook obviously) we flipped back and forth between network parade coverage, NBC far superior to CBS, what with Jamie Kennedy interviewing his Dad thinking it's hilarious to get old people to gobble and poor Michael McKean and that terrible interview. I may dislike Al Roker but we really had no choice.

After that we still had a little time to kill so I thought I'd give Laura her first piano lesson. I know, I thought she played piano already too! But she does not. At all.

It was a short lesson.

Appetizer!

Then it was time to cook. Since I destroyed the turkey already we decided to cook the backup chicken, which turned out really good. Also on the menu:

• corn
• mashed potatoes (w/ bacon)
• stuffing
• cranberry sauce
  
• green bean casserole
• broccoli
• crescent rolls
  
• Waldorf salad
  
• Barb's infamous cornbread
• chianti
  

Put it all together it looks like this:

I think we did a really good job, considering the awful start we got off to. Guess we can try again next year. This year we were full.
