Rachelle & Tessa, Centreville, VA

This year was the 5th year that Sue and I went to Kelly and Jeff’s for Thanksgiving. This year was special because it was Tessa’s first Thanksgiving.

As always, Jeff did most of the cooking. He was in charge of the meal and we were just there to help. He brined the turkey overnight then cooked it to perfection. He also made homemade cranberry sauce, stuffing and pumpkin pies. We also had mashed potatoes with gravy, mashed rutabaga, and sweet potato casserole.

Thanksgiving Dinner, Centreville, VA

A little belated, but here are a couple images from the 4th annual Thanksgiving in Virginia festivities. Jeff made a brine and let the turkey soak overnight. Then while cooking, he put onion and a bunch of fresh herbs inside. It gave the meat a great taste and the brine kept it moist.

Thanksgiving Turkey, Centreville, VA

This was the 3rd consecutive year that I spent Thanksgiving with Kelly, Jeff & Aunt Sue. This year thier friends Larry & Rosa joined us. Let me see if I can think of everything that we had for dinner: turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, mashed turnips, steamed squash, cranberries, coleslaw and Mexican pasta. I might have missed something, not sure. For dessert there was pumpkin pie, apple pie, gingerbread bars with lemon cream cheese icing, both chocolate chip and white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies, and vanilla ice cream.
