Thankful

This Thanksgiving we were showered with visitors and we did everything possible to create a traditional Thanksgiving meal together. After all was said and done, it turned out great! A total group effort, I signed up for turkey and pie. Here's a little peak at the bird, start to finish.

Brining the bird on the fire escape of our apartment. Refrigerator temps provided by nature.

 

After being massaged with butter and being baked for hours, it was time to take it to the apartment my in-laws had rented in Hell's Kitchen. So...Kyle and Jared built a box for the bird.

We nuzzled the turkey in the box and squeezed into a cab, with a whole slew of other essentials, and headed across town. It was certainly the best smelling cab I've ever been in!

 

We all, including the bird, arrived in once piece and soon it was time for the turkey to be sliced for our enjoyment. The honors were done by Grandpa Hickman and I think he did a pretty fine job!

 

 

It involved a little more planning and maneuvering of ingredients, but Thanksgiving dinner

turned out fabulously. Just look at all the happy eaters and drinkers!!

 

Thank you, thank you to everyone who traveled near and far to spend Thanksgiving together with us. We loved seeing your smiling faces and truly enjoyed your company.We are certainly thankful.
