Maine turkeys!

We're heading home from our Thanksgiving in Maine. Dinner was great, of course we over ate. Family was crazy, but it wouldn't be as much fun if they weren't!
This years movie was the Muppets! There is currently a debate as to how bad it actually was...I think it was pretty bad, but my brother says I'm too judgemental & it wasn't that bad. I guess I excected a big muppet show, but it was this movie where they broke out into song about whatever was happening...
I digress...this year I decided to try a "Thanksgiving Benedict" for breakfast the morning after. It's a pancake of stuffing browned on both sides, topped w turkey & an egg everything smothered in gravy! It was awesome, if I do say so myself. I had to modify it slightly, I wasn't allowed to use turkey or the hommade gravy I made, since my grandmother thought my recipe sounded "disgusting" (see I told you, crazy! We weren't allowed to have turkey sandwichs in the middle of the night either. Cray-cray. We did it anyways) so u substituted turkey with bacon & got some store bought gravy...it was still good! I suggest you try it! I did end up sopping up the excess gravy & yoke w a dinner biscut from the night before.

Happy thanksgiving all, hope yours was great!

Woah weeks fly by! My Thanksgiving weekend.

This is WAY LATE and I'm sorry I don't really have a good reason. It was Thanksgiving and my family celebrates in Maine (about 6 hours from me) and then I moved. And I'm sure you all understand that moving can knock your world off its axis. So I will catch you up as quickly as possible with the abridged version.

Thanksgiving - Maine
3 turkeys came to Thanksgiving!

Thursday am - 6 hour drive with 2 brothers. Arrived at 6am. Brother wears super small shirt to turkey day dinner, is refered to as "fat kid in a little shirt" for the rest of the weekend
