Thanksgiving

I actually cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was a pretty low key deal and I really enjoyed myself. I always wanted to be able to host a holiday meal for my family but my house in Hendersonville was just too small.

Here is what I learned from my first Thanksgiving.

- Never clean your oven PRIOR to Thanksgiving.

- Corn casserole expands in the pan. A lot. And it will flat ruin your clean oven.

- Nobody likes corn casserole anyway.

- I am thankful for wine. There. I said it.


- I can kick ass at Trivial Pursuit when I am intoxicated.

- Nothing will sober you up like hearing the phrase "Katie barfed all over the new carpet!" at 2:30 AM.

- Kids want their mom when they are sick. Period. And they don't care if you have to call and wake her up at the butt crack of dawn.
