The turkey I got was not pre-basted so I got creative trying to make sure it wasn't all dried out. I brought out a syringe and filled it with melted butter to do the basting myself.

I couldn't get it to work and ended up shooting butter all over the kitchen. Thank goodness my doctor daughter stepped in to inject the turkey (there was an air bubble in the syringe that was blocking it, she discovered). Here's a professional at work:

Katie also set the table and featured a pilgrim boy and girl that my grandmother painted years ago.

Here's my son Mikey and his friend Anna about to eat. I made everyone at the table say one thing they were thankful for this year.

Anna, from Bristol, had never been to a Thanksgiving dinner before, so Mel explained the story to her. We had a wonderful meal.

Happy Saturday Thanksgiving! Your table (and family) looks so nice. Tell what else was on the menu!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
We also had gingerbreadmen after. Yum YUM.
And now Mikey has just come home from the movies to ask me what's for dinner! Argh. I've been cooking all day.
I'm guessing Mikey had LEFTOVERS! That's the best part of Thanksgiving.
