I posted a lengthy reflective commentary on Thanksgiving Day itself, but because I'm behind a couple of days on posts, it is only now that we're getting to what the meal was here that day. With no guests in attendance, I cut down on the number of side dishes and just made the usual favorites of cornbread stuffing with bacon and apples, sweet potato casserole, and layered green bean casserole. I took the rare step of roasting a whole turkey, this time in a bag, and it was moist and well-cooked but certainly not special. Some turkey gravy I threw together helped bring it around!
