A Vegetarian Thanksgiving...

No, there was no Tofurkey™. My brother had no initial intentions of having a meatless Thanksgiving dinner but that is how it turned out. Two disasters plagued my brother’s kitchen yesterday. Everything was coming along just fine. He decided to do a ham instead of a Turkey, which is perfectly fine. More on that later. My brother was making his cornbread dressing and the giblet gravy. He needed a dish and as he was pulling one out of the cabinet he dropped it. The dish shattered into the cornbread and gravy rendering both ruined. Then came the unveiling of the ham. The ham was beautiful. Then came the taste test. First off, the directions were followed exactly. I tasted it and it was like licking a salt lick. I was afraid that I was going to go into some sort of sodium shock and would most definitely be diabetic. The ham was so salty that it was inedible. So, we had a green bean casserole, rolls, stuffing (a second batch was made), and macaroni and cheese. All while the Cowboy game was on in the living room. Can’t have Thanksgiving without the Dallas Cowboys!
