Turkeylicious!

My first attempt at cooking a turkey was a complete and utter success. This is despite Joolie's doubts that I could pull it off. In all honesty I don't see what the big deal is, you just defrost that bitch, oil her up and plop her in the oven and then go drink for a couple hours.

So yeah, yesterday was the big Thanksgiving holiday dinner at Eric's house. The theme of dressing like an indian or pilgrim never caught on much past Eric, Joolie and myself, but the turnout was impressive. The group assembled was a hodge podge of locals and transplants like myself. This is the first Turkey day I wasn't around my family and it felt kind of odd to tell you the truth. I'm thankful that Eric's house was so welcoming and laid back. The food was excellent and everyone really made an effort to have a good time.
