A Thanksgiving Feast!

This year we spent Thanksgiving at the Skilling Farm surrounded by family and friends.  The Burrous, Crane, Carver, and Ewanowski families joined us as we gave thanks for all of life's blessings.  Our grand total for mouths to feed = 19!  We all missed Matt & Rachel (we actually missed Rachel and her corn pudding the most!) and Obi getting into all of the food that was left out on the counters!  Why have 1 turkey?  Well, we couldn't all agree on what kind of turkey to have so we decided to do 3!  Mom oven roasted her turkey, Frank smoked his turkey (injected with Cajun butter), and Melissa deep fried her turkey breast.

Our goodies for Turkey Day included:  3 different kinds of turkey, one ham, sweet potato suffle (one topped with marshmallows and one with pecans), mashed potatoes, squash casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, gravy, homemade cranberry relish, canned cranberry sauce, and creamed onions.  Ali made 2 apple pies and Mom mad 2 pumpkin pies for dessert.  Happy Thanksgiving to all!
