Thanksgiving Hangover

Not a literal hangover but just a "I do not want to wake up" kind of feeling. Four days of sleeping late and staying up past midnight really broke my routine. At 12:30 this morning Andy was singing "I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy" Bad news for having to wake up at 5.
I'm proud to say that our first attempt at Thanksgiving dinner was a success! The following dishes were delicious: turkey, gravy, rice, macaroni and cheese, cornbread dressing, spinach. One dish was not delicious: green bean casserole. Somehow we managed to mess up the easiest dish. Before I mixed it all together I even said "This is so easy to make...even Nancy cooks this" No offense to Nancy but she is not known for her cooking skills. I was so determined to make green bean casserole that on Wednesday night, in the rain, Andy and I went to five different grocery stores to find french fried onions. Apparently they are not the biggest seller in Brooklyn. Anyway, it was so bad that I could only eat one bite and then I immediately threw the whole pan of it away. I have no idea how I screwed that up so badly.
Also, to celebrate our Thanksgiving in the Northeast we got a cranberry sauce, usually not present at Louisiana Thanksgiving. I found it quite disgusting. It tasted like overly sweet jello and I can't stand jello. I took a few pics of our spread so I'll try to get those up this week.
