Although well into my grown-up years, I have thus far avoiding cooking a Thanksgiving Turkey. Well, that all changed on Thursday. I thoroughly enjoyed playing hostess to friends and family and the turkey turned out great. There were a few spots that got a little too dark due to the oil-based turkey paste/rub but the taste was fantastic! And I will always brine my turkeys and chickens from now on as it make it incredibly moist and flavorful.
rain and chilly temps didn't keep us in last night! Jack had a great time trick-or-treating and ended up with a ridiculous amount of candy! He and his buddy Garrett hit a ton of houses and even Reggie went to a few with us as "pirate dog." The funniest comment of the night was when Garrett pointed at Reggie and exclaimed, "Mommy, Reggie's dressed up as a dog!" Clearly he meant to say pirate but it was priceless.
tay up late watching movies as I knew we'd have the extra hour to sleep-in this morning. I wonder if he'll request candy for breakfast? :)
