We celebrated Thanksgivign at our house. I had to order the turkey in advance only a couple days before, he said he got the smallets one which was 13lbs. It looked pretty big to me and it almost didn't fit in the oven! Here is the table set up for 11 people.
Gimmy cutting the turkey, I never got a good picture of the turkley when finished because I was cooking like a mad woman but I can tell you it was very good and looked perfectly roasted ;) It took almost 5 hours to cook, and everyone said they liked it. I admit, was pretty pleased with my first turkey.

Gimmy still cutting the turkey and Nicola checking it out.
All of our friends at the table with all the food covering every bit of table. We had the turkey, stuffing, wild rice dish, glazed carrots, green bean caserole, sweet potatoe casserole, and the Waldorf salad. For desert we had my Aunt Sue's ~famous~ pear pie, chocolate/coffee date cake, and chocolate gelato pie.
We ate a lot.

The turkey at the end of the night...we had left overs for about 6 days. We had fun, but I did miss all my family back home thinking they were probably all cooking like mad too. Haha! Until next year!
Happy Thanksgiving!
