Thanksgiving 2009
Thanksgiving has become a bitter sweet holiday in out house. The trend has become that I work and Katie cooks all day so that when I get home, the big meal is ready when I get home. This year was a little different. On Thanksgiving day I worked but took a long lunch and joined the Irons family (my mother’s side) for dinner. Each year, the Irons family comes together at a church in Sunland for a late lunch. My office is only 20 minutes down the road, so I met Katie there to rub elbows with the family. There were family portraits taken, plenty of catching up and meal to feed an army! Unfortunately by the time we got to the meal, I had to head back to work. I packed a to-go plate and split back to work. Not much of a Thanksgiving, but it was a fond one.
Katie made our Thanksgiving dinner on the following Sunday and man-o-man what a spread! I honestly believe she has found the secret to cooking a turkey. Perfectly seasoned, crispy skin and moist white & dark meat alike. We ate like kings and I have only my amazing wife to thank. She puts in the extra love & care needed to pull this gargantuan meal off just right. I have put up a few photos of the table and of the Irons family gathering over on our Flickr page.
