Thanksgiving

My wife and I's first Thanksgiving dinner in our home was a success. We had all of my family and hers over for a total of about 15 people. My first attempt at deep frying a turkey was also a success, but believe me it tasted better than it looked. My mother in law put a lot of butter and seasoning on the outside of the bird so when we put it in the deep fryer it was turning black on the outside within 30 minutes. We took it out and put it in the oven for a few just to get the legs done a little more. I gotta tell you, it was one of the best tasting turkeys I have ever had and I'm not a turkey fan either. There were rolls, muffins, cornbread, stuffing, cranberry sauce, beans, rice, mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, collards, ham, pineapple casserole, potato and chicken salad. All in all it was a great meal and a great time spent with both our families. Hopefully next year we can get the turkey to look as good as it tastes!
