Thanksgiving dinner was an enjoyable event. My dressing did turn out at least edible, but not exactly what I was going for. I know, however, what my error was, so I'll just have to try it again. One of my other roommates also made dressing, and although it had a different taste, it was all right. And that's all I'm saying about that. The sweet potato casserole turned out great, except the poor marshmallows were burned to smithereens because they were also cooking in the oven with a squash casserole and macaroni and cheese. I asked someone to watch them for me while I dolled myself up for our company, but the poor "watchperson" had other things to tend after at the same time, that made keeping an eye on my marshmallows a little difficult. Bless her heart. It really was a stressful day, so I can understand how those things happen. But the sweet potatoes tasted wonderfully! But I'm going to try cooking it again, this time watching the marshmallow myself, just to get a feel for how long it takes for them to get done. As for the collard greens, I think they were the best. I found a really good recipe and used it as a guide. Apparently of all that I had made, that was the favorite. So I'll definitely be making those again some day.
Notice I said, "some day." I believe I've had my share of cooking for at least a couple of weeks, anyway. Of course, this weekend is our church's Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner. We'll just be having finger foods, which is right up my alley. I have volunteered pasta salad and sausage balls, which I know beyond the shadow of a doubt I can make! So it will be a breeze.
Well thanks so much for all your encouragement concerning the cooking thing. I'm just going to have to get more practice in, or else my poor future husband and children just may starve! :o)
Enjoy your day today!
