Hope everyone is doing well and going to enjoy this day the way you like.
What's everyone doing?
For me, I'm another year older today! Jane, stop this crazy thing!
The fam is coming over to eat, drink and have merry. Of course I've been baking and cooking since I woke up this fine morn. I made all of the go-alongs first and now the turkey is in the oven all seasoned up in it's cozy oven bag. (moistest oven turkey ever!)
Oh, and OMG! I did it again. I exploded another pyrex baking dish! AND ruined my toaster! Will I ever learn? I had all of my side dishes done and some sitting on the back burners. Then I decided to simmer the giblets for my dogs and turned on the back burner by mistake with the pyrex dish with the candied yams sitting on it. I heard it boiling and said, dang, and turned it off. Then took it off burner and said to myself, "don't sit it on any cold wet surface, I don't want another pyrex explosion". So I sat it on top of my stainless steel toaster. Sounds safe, right? Nope! Within 1 minute I hear POP, SHATTER! Yep, yams and glass all over the counter and all that delicious caramel goodness running down through my toaster. I quickly unplugged it and face palmed. The wife laughed and said it just wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't blow up some pyrex.
So anywho, here's how today's menu looks:
Turkey
Green bean casserole
Garlic mashed potatoes
cornbread stuffing
Cranberry orange relish
Corn bread muffins
Cheesy broccoli cauliflower bake
Apple pie
