Memorable

This Thanksgiving was different.  It was just us.

I pared down the cooking a little bit, but we still had turkey and gravy.

We didn't set as many places as in years' past, but we did have a full and beautiful table.

We didn't have to wait for guests to arrive, but we did have to wait for the food to cook.

We didn't make as many side dishes, but we did use both ovens.

Isaiah didn't sit at the table for dinner, but he did get some practice before hand in his Bumbo.

We didn't have a guest to carve the turkey for us, but Joe did a great job himself.

We didn't burn the rolls, but I did set the entire pan of sweet potatoes on FIRE!  Yes, there was fire shooting out of the oven.  Evidently broiling the sweet potatoes on low still cooks the marshmallows extremely quickly and sets them on fire before you even think to check the oven.

Despite all the differences from years' past, one thing was the same:  it was memorable.  Setting sweet potatoes on fire has a way of burning an event into one's memory.
