Last night, some of our friends and chris' parents celebrated Thanksgiving with us. The night before I made a few pumpkin cheesecakes and pies, then I spent the day preparing for the feast. There was a minor problem with the turkey though. When I took it out of the fridge and took it out of the packaging yesterday, there was a black spot on the leg and a green marking on it. So, I called the store where I bought it from, and they said not to eat it...and that they only had a few fresh turkey crowns (which is just the breast meat) available. However, in order to get these, I had to bring the turkey back to the store... so, I put it in a big black bin bag, hulled the huge thing (it was 9.80kg, an extra large turkey), and took it to Asda. To my dismay, they made me take the turkey out of the bag to show them what i was talking about. Gross! But, in the end I got 2 huge turkey crowns. I tried a new recipe using white wine, chicken stock, and bay leaves; you had to cook the turkey upside down. All I can say is...yum yum yum! The turkey was super moist and Delicious! I will definitely do this again; I am so thankful for all recipes! Anyways, we had a nice time, played a few games, and ate ate ate! Benji even dressed up as a little Indian. I love thanksgiving!!! I am so thankful for last night, but still miss my family back in America! I cant wait for 2 more weeks when I will get to see them!
