We all had a very nice day. I think everyone enjoyed the dinner. I have to say that I was very pleased with the results. I may have to repeat the same menu next year. I am not a very good gravy maker but for some reason the gravy recipe I used turned out delicious... the best I have ever made. The turkey was also the best roast turkey I have ever made. Also new this year were the popovers. I think I have made them before but it has been a long time. They turned out perfect. The stuffing/dressing, mashed potatoes, peas and onions, and salad also went over very well. I did have to apologize to my family for cooking a frozen vegetable, peas; but no one complained. Here's the link for the turkey and gravy recipe. A note on the gravy: I did not serve the gravy with the cooked apples from the roasting pan.

We missed our son but did hear from him several times over the holiday weekend. I think he and his girlfriend had a nice Christmas together.
