Before I Knew How to Cook

By A Cowboy's Wife | November 5, 2008

Thank heavens for my grandmother and my mom.  Without their recipes and tips over the phone, I would have never done this.  For the record, I was 17.

    Looks yummy! The first time, and only time, I made Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t until I was 22! I still had to call my mom about 20 times that day.

    I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner last year. My mother in law was so impressed that I’d done it all myself, because she never cooks… she just gets it catered from a deli if they do have Thanksgiving dindin @ home.

    That’s a mighty delish lookin’ spread by the way ;)
