I took pictures Thursday, but they aren't great. Partly because I didn't remember until after I'd started to carve the turkey.
However, I made Thanksgiving with all the trimmings, and it was lovely. Everyone raved over all the food. Everything was from scratch except I used some frozen pie crusts because after I rolled out dozens of homemade egg noodles, I could not hold that rolling pin anymore.
I even made my gravy from scratch, which is something that always intimidates me. Betty Crocker's web site has a recipe for "fool proof gravy," and it really is! And it was delicious. I bought a good-sized bird for the group, and there weren't enough leftovers for turkey salad sandwiches or pot pie!

I think this discussion is even older than a year--we had another version of it before Anthony split the board into "on" and "off" topic forums.
Here is my dinner last night. Frisee aux lardons.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
