Last Saturday we made a turkey dinner. I'm using the term "we" very loosely. Really, Lee made a turkey dinner...Complete with homemade apple and pumpkin pie! See, as I mentioned earlier, we have to do our own turkey meal. But this year was different! He whipped up an onion/garlic butter to coat the outside of the bird, he peeled and mashed all the taters, he whipped up a perfect fruit salad, and then still managed to make 3 fabulous pies! (One apple, and two pumpkin, because one pumpkin is just not enough...!)
Lee's parents and little sister came over for the meal. And I was so proud of my very kitchen-savvy spouse! He really loves to cook, and it was fun to see him do it so successfully!
My contribution, incidentally, was Rhodes rolls. I took them out of the freezer, HE cut and arranged them in the muffin pan, and then they went into the laundry room to rise. And rise they did! When I went to get them to put them in the oven, they were like the size of my head!! (Slight exaggeration, but ONLY slight!)
But I guess it was a good dry run...Eventually, the parents will tire of cooking for us, and now we know...We're ready to host when that day comes! :D

Haha, awesome! It's great being married to chef-savvy men! But I'm sure those humongous rolls were delicious!! Rolls are always my favorite part :)
I think we are going to do our Thanksgiving dinner closer to Christmas, that way we have plenty of left-overs through the holidays so I wontt have to cook too much!
How fun! We made our own Thanksgiving for the first time this year and it was really fun. It's gonna be our new tradition. But yes, we do rhodes rolls a lot too and they're a favorite part.
