So here it is, Thanksgiving \u2013 the first real holiday Amras and I have had as man and wife, and the first time we\u2019ll be entertaining family on<\/i> a holiday. Now granted, my family is pretty laid back\u2026but I am amazed at how nervous I am about this concept.<\/p>\n
I am also having many moments of wondering why on earth<\/i> I didn\u2019t pay more attention when I was a child as I have absolutely no idea how to cook a turkey and am almost having nightmares about how my pie crust is going to turn out\u2026and me who considers herself a baker!<\/p>\n
Who knew that cooking one meal could be so complicated\u2026<\/p>\n
So far things we have had to pick up other<\/i> than the food: butter dish, turkey lifter, meat thermometer, turkey baster, turkey oven bag and heaven all knows what else (thank goodness I work at a hardware store when I\u2019m not on the ship!) and the food of course, a lot<\/i> of food\u2026most of which I have little idea what to do with\u2026except that it has to get cooked somehow and end up on the table at the right time.<\/p>\n
Because about the only \u201choliday\u201d thing I know how to make is cranberry sauce \u2013 the making of which does not take a genius (despite the impression that it gave my flatmates in the UK when they saw it boiling on the stove for the first time).<\/p>\n
So tonight I will have my first attempt at making a from scratch pie-crust and tomorrow? Tomorrow we tackle the turkey\u2026and the stuffing\u2026and the yams\u2026and\u2026everything else\u2026<\/p>\n
Why oh why didn\u2019t I pay more attention?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
