Thanksgiving..with a compact Turkey!
Maybe it's because I am so far away from home, but I realized that I really do have a lot to be thankful for! I decided that I was going to make this thanksgiving special..and since I really like to cook I was going to make myself a nice Sunday Thanksgiving meal. So I went to the store to see what I could find that would resemble a Canadian Thanksgiving. It was a little different such as; they don't sell full turkeys here. (In my previous pictures you can see how my kitchen is so small and compact) which means that my oven is really tiny and I don't even think a whole turkey could fit in there. Instead I bought a whole chicken a compact turkey! Which I seasoned and cooked to perfection! I made HOMEMADE stuffing! (As I was making this I knew that my Mom and Grandma would be so proud, and impressed with me and my talented cooking!) I cut the bread into cubes and dried them overnight and..seasonend them, added some celery and onions, it definitely tasted better than stovetop stuffing. And then I made a green been casserole that is a favorite of mine that we eat at thanksgiving, with cheese and roasted almonds. It was delicious; I think it even tastes better made with Swiss cheeseJ. The only things missing was Grandma’s wonderful mashed potatoes, buns, and pumpkin pie. And all the games after the big meal!!
I really did have a great thanksgiving..I even had that feeling afterwards of being soo full that all you can think of is curling up and having a nice long nap!
