This is the first year in my life that I have not been home for Thanksgiving. I decided that to alleviate a bit of the homesickness during the holiday season, I would cook a turkey dinner for my co-workers. There were many who did not think I would be able to pull it off, but I must say I ended up doing an awesome job. They don't have 20lb turkey's in Oz this time of year, so I ended up with the smallest turkey I have ever seen, 7lbs! I didn't think it would be enough to feed everyone, but Michelle assured me it would.
Michelle and I spent Friday night, and all Saturday afternoon, preparing and cooking a lovely dinner of turkey, stuffing (my grandpa's recipe!), green beans, garlic mash potatoes, roast carrots, shrimp and veggie skewers (seriously, shrimp on the barbie!), an awesome cheese plate and delicious Black Forest cupcakes! A-mazing!
