I'm cautiously optimistic about the pie. I <bleeped> it up six ways to Sunday, but it's in the oven now. Old eyes and old brain getting the best of me.

Hope y'all have a great weekend. I see on CNN "corn" had a reprieve, not so much the other turkey "cob" lmao.

Happy Thanksgiving. I am grateful for all of you that welcomed me and help me become a better cook!
Is that all you had for Thanksgiving? No wonder you lost so much weight!
Oh no, that's just the snacks! Turkey, gravy, stuffing, scalloped potatoes, creamed corn, savory sweet potatoes, bread, and relish coming up!
Yeah I know. Just joking. I hope you both enjoy!

Yes. I'll get a pic up shortly.
The turkey was slightly overcooked, but not terribly so, and the skin was finally as crispy as I like.
Scalloped potatoes (done in the slow cooker) were top-shelf, just wonderful. Sweet potatoes were yuck, but that would describe the best of sweet potatoes anyway. These were mashed with green onions, parsley, s & p, sour cream, and butter.
Stuffing was also magnificent. Once it sits overnight in the fridge, I'll patty it and fry it as a side. Gravy was the best I've ever made, and the relish was also good. Nice maple flavor.
Corn was middle-of-the-road; also done in the slow cooker, and made with cream, cream cheese, and butter, among other things.
That knot roll in the middle...that came from Walmart of all places, last-minute decision. It's a bit...unfortunate.
...and chilled cranberry gluhwein.

I made the cold spinach dip and some saurkraut balls last night, we will be snacking on that shortly and having spaghetti for dinner. Hubby doesn't like turkey and I don't like ham, so no point in cooking "normal" Thanksgiving meat items, since it's just the two of us.

At our house we do a standing prime rib roast for Christmas. Or at least we always did in previous years. I guess I can just do a thick bone-in ribeye steak for the two of us.
