thanksgiving=success

hello!

i hope you all had an absolutely fabulous thanksgiving day filled with gluttony and sloth like behavior. i made my first oven roasted turkey, which i am very very proud of. after 24 hours of brining, two hours of prep and four hours in the oven…it was all worth it. i also made cranberry chutney, cheese biscuits, apple-pear pie and pumpkin spice cake for the festivities.

 

happy holidays!
