It went in at 3:00pm.
It was done by 7:00pm, but somehow, amidst the confusion and the excitement - we completely forgot to take a picture of the finished bird. I know, I don’t know how I could have forgotten to photograph the main course that I was fretting about. But I can tell you, it turned out well, a little drier than I had anticipated but it tasted great. Everyone seemed pleased or are all fantastic liars.
We have lots and lots of leftovers.
I am, however, very disappointed with my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pie (below) which was under-baked. It was sweet but alas, it needed another 5 or 10 minutes in the oven to truly be a pie instead of mush of semi-cooked cheesecake. I don’t know where my baking mojo went that day.

Your food looks like it turned out well (well, except for the raw turkey :P)
What is in the last picture? It looks a little like strawberry shortcake.

Thanks! Yes, that last picture is sort of a finger food translation of the strawberry shortcake. It’s made with premade pastry dough. My bro-in-law put that together. I thought it was lovely, very sweet too!

Your Thanksgiving spread looks so impressive! I’m very intrigued by the breadsticks (is that what they are?)–they look so yummy!
As far as the turkey: I know exactly why you didn’t get the picture, post-cooking. Once that golden bird comes out of the oven, everyone is focused on ONE thing: eating it!
I didn’t get a picture until we’d already sliced it up. What can I say?

Thanks Shannalee! My bro-in-law actually made the breadsticks and I think he used pastry dough to make it. It was delicious! I’ll have to find out more details.
