Thankful that the turkey turned out well

Cooked Thanksgiving dinner: turkey and the works. Not as hard as we thought. Ended up doing the stuffing on the stove, since most (online) sources advised it (bought some Mrs. Cubbison's, added fresh celery, and peanuts; turned out very well). The turkey we thawed out about a day and a half before; the removables were in a bag, which made them easy to take out; we used an aluminum throwaway roasting pan, and put it in for I believe five hours, occasionally basting it with an oil, water, and herb mixture, and covering it with a foil tent at the end. No problem cutting it with my electric knife, either. Everything (as well as the turkey and stuffing, we had Brussels sprouts, (boiled) potatoes, corn, and cranberry sauce for the turkey) was delicious!
