Your Thanksgiving Mistake

[Anonymous]

Had gastric sleeve surgery on April. Miscalculated how much I could eat and I’m seriously miserable. Ugh.

Still waiting to bake my sea-salt and herb skillet rolls, so those could be a disaster as well, since I’ve never made them before.

Recipe please if the skillet rolls come out well!

None so far. No guests. Minimal cleaning. Alternate menu is cooking as expected.

Good luck to everyone else!

Turkey was bad. Got a Koch farms one from moms but it must have been too young. Extremely thin skin, no fat, sinewy

Overcooked the turkey a little bit. It's not terrible, but not the best one I've ever made. Everything else was good though.

I’m sure everything was fine pp’s. A meal you don’t have to cook, is always fine.

Did not prep the Turkey last night. We will eat it tomorrow. Seems like our tradition.

The turkey we bought was too bulky to fit our oven. I ended up removing the legs and part of the breast. I cooked them separately in a fig juice and turned out to be a success.

Mashed potatoes were too liquidy. I made a make-ahead recipe that has you add extra cream and it was fine the first time I made it, but something went wrong this time. I should be able to salvage the leftovers, at least.

Did you forget?

Our big thanksgiving is tomorrow and I still have to make a pie tonight and I don’t wanna. Should have made it this morning.

The leftovers will probably be perfect. Mashed potatoes tend to dry up overnight.

Send DH to Wegman’s.

Gasp! Perish the thought. I’m going to do it, and then I’m going to have a whiskey and a bath.

No real mistakes this year, which is a first for me ( and likely a fluke never to be repeated). The scalloped oysters bubbled over a bit so I’ll have to clean the oven at some point, but that was the worst of it.
