thanksgiving 2011

we celebrated this thanksgiving the way we celebrate every thanksgiving.

at my sister’s place. well, every other-she and my mom switch christmas and thanksgiving hosting duties.

anyway, she and her husband make the best turkeys.

they smoke one and fry the other.

one has perfectly fried skin, the inside is nice and moist.

the other tastes delicious. the meat tastes like bacon.

well, i suppose it just reminds me of bacon, but hey-a heaping serving of bacony flavored turkey?!

below, the fried one.

below, the smoked one.

mashed potatoes, cranberries

i made brussel sprouts, but no picture. how about this orange & pomegranate dish?

there were also pies, and someone made cupcakes!

hope you had a happy thanksgiving too!
