Yes, dinner tonight was delicious. Homegrown spaghetti squash. I was kinda of hesitant at first to even grow it, because according to Stephanie, whatever I grow, I gotta eat. So tonight was the night for out first spaghetti squash dinner. It was awesome.

Dessert were graham crackers with a strawberries, cream cheese, and sugar. Placed in a freezer until solid and served.

In The Kitchen

Lots of things were happening in the kitchen this evening in preparation for tomorrows big feast. Pies being baked, veggie platters being made, finger foods rolled and sliced.

Here is part of the “stuff” that is going inside of the turkey being smoked. I took Phil’s recommendation and used the recipe he gave me. The brine smells delicious. The turkey is in the fridge in the garage soaking. I have to get up in about 4 hours (its 11:30pm now, yikes) and stuff it with the ingredients above and some herbs then put in on the smoker until 4pm or so.

Here is the inside of the fridge. Its chock full of pies and yummy things for tomorrow. It’s not normally this full.

Here is Stephanie holding a homemade Apple Pie. She’s proud of it.

The other turkey goes in the oven sometime tomorrow. We also found time to hang attic stairs in the garage tonight with the help of my dad and Stephanie’s dad. They were much easier to do than I had expected.

Busy day tomorrow.
I’ll be sure and take lots of photos and post a big update. Lets go Cowboys!!!
