Food From the Weekend - Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a fabulous four day weekend! I know I did, and it was much needed. Thursday was spent mainly cooking. For the first time ever - thanks to my detailed excel spreadsheet shopping list and my by the hour cooking timeline - the kitchen was not a complete whirlwind of disaster... until the very end. My fear of letting food get cold seems to win over every time and I start rushing around like a mad woman and then things get dropped... like the turkey. And then there is yelling, and throwing of dish towels, and a dog desperate to get in the kitchen, and my dreams of a Thanksgiving without a complete cooking fail are dashed in less than 2 seconds. Sigh.
