All the preparing and then rushing home from work to start cooking really wore me out. Still the dinner, although simplified from what I typically do, turned out pretty good. No Whole turkey this year, but a turkey breast. I didn't want a lot of leftovers to have to worry about. I did manage to do my crowd-pleasing homemade garlic mashed potatoes. Also squeezed out some sauteed vegetable dishes. El did one of her tasty sweet potato pies a la mode and Rachel churned out a delicious corn casserole which I'll have to remember next year.

Dinner was great, but the cook is DEAD TIRED. One holiday, two more to go.
