Sadly, the ONLY photo of my first roasted turkey ever made is of it being carved already. I wasn't thinking clear enough at the time to take a pic of how beautiful it was as it came out of the oven. But for those who couldn't be there it was a yummy golden brown and had a taste out of this world...if I do say so myself. Uncle Julian was appointed to this year's carving of the bird. He carved Mr. Bird perfectly of course. Thanks Uncle Julian! He also, did a good job of keeping our little secret that the wings of Mr. Bird were completely undercooked and required more cooking time...sorry everyone. We also had Cure 81 Ham with a honey glaze. Our first Christmas dinner in our home was so fun to do. I was a little stressed just because I wanted it perfect. But, I am convinced that I went to the right sources for my food preparation research. So, a big THANKS to : the food network website, Grandma Lynn Schafbuch, Mama Brandt, Mama Sue, and my big sis! But, the meal wouldn't have been complete without everyone who brought the delicious side dishes. Yum, yum, yum!
