how my iphone saw the day...
Thanksgiving was fantastic. I went all Julia Childs with Larisa and made a delicious dinner on Wednesday. (My mother's Thanksgiving plans for Thursday were cancelled, but we went ahead with Thanksgiving a day early) I refused to do anything on Thursday but lay around and take naps. It was glorious! Mama and I played Rummikub while Larisa made fancy hot chocolate. We played old standards and sang "Someone to Watch Over Me." (She has the best voice...)
It was all I wanted in a vacation. For future reference, if anyone wants to impress anyone with their culinary skills, feel free to use this menu: slow-cooker turkey (I was super happy to have one less thing to schedule the oven for), HEB's pecan praline spiral-cut ham (the best decision I made), macaroni and cheese (from scratch!), roasted garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry-pomegranate sauce (A: why would you ever use the canned stuff when this is so easy? B: mine turned out a cranberry-orange-apple sauce 'cause I forgot the pomegranate juice), green bean casserole (nothing fancy, just the recipe on the can of fried onions... don't judge, it's my favorite!), and those magical canned crescent rolls with some rosemary-garlic butter.
My favorite dishes (beside that fantastic ham) were the whipped sweet potatoes with coconut milk from The Kitchn and cornbread stuffing with sausage and apples from The Pioneer Woman.
this is what it would all look like if I was a professional food photographer...

The last two years I made Bobby Flay's pumpkin bread pudding with spicy caramel apple sauce and my brother said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten... So there's that.
