i cooked my first bird ever yesterday! it turned out pretty darn good. i used a cajun spice blend on in, and also made cornbread stuffing and cream biscuits, all from a southern menu. the hardest part about cooking the feast was getting the timing right. having everything done (and hot) at the same time is tricky. but, it worked out pretty good. and we had plenty of good, cajun spiced gravy. one of my thanksgiving pet peeves is not enough gravy.

adella fell asleep right before we ate, she was tired from playing so nicely by herself all day (as i cooked.) she was so good, just running around the house with the dogs, dancing, making minimal messes. she liked the cream biscuits right out of the oven.

it was a great day! we decided to have a themed movie marathon, and we each picked a val kilmer movie. i chose 'top gun' at the last minute, susie brought 'real genius', george chose a wacky movie called 'american cowslip-a redneck comedy.' i wonder if val kilmer is his real name?
