Thanksgiving In Texas

Well, I thought now would be a good time to make a post and let you all know I am alive here in Texas.  As usual, I have been spending a lot of time balancing my hectic schedule but I did make the exception for what I think is my favorite holiday - Thanksgiving!  This holiday is all about good food and good people and good football (Geaux Saints!). 

So I wanted to let you know that your ever so studious law student did not go hungry this Thanksgiving.  I spent it at Nick's where he dominated the kitchen (again) and made quite a delicious spread of food including a fried turkey, his delicious sweet potatoes, a first time ever crawfish and cornbread stuffing, collard greens with andouille sausage, homemade cranberry sauce, homestyle mashed potatoes, and burnt rolls (see... even he is not perfect in the kitchen!).  Everything was fantastic - and we threw the burnt rolls into the fireplace which surprisingly, didn't smell horrible. He invited those without family nearby and he had a nice turnout.

I felt full and happy at the end of the day which is always a positive sign for a successful Thanksgiving.  I hope everyone else had a good day as well.  More updates to come soon - I am heading into finals right now (tests are this week and next) so wish me luck! 

Oh - and here is a picture of the beautiful fried turkey fresh out of the fryer! So Yummy!

Surprisingly enough, I didn't get any other pictures of the food.  So you will have to take my word for it.... it was beautiful and delicious.

Happy Holidays :-)
