Each year for Thanksgiving, I need to drive up to my dad's house as my Uncle David always seems to throw a Thanksgiving party at his house. I always arrive the night to prepare things for Thanksgiving day. Of course, these last two years, I have learned to make the turkey. Usually , my mom does the turkey but since mom passed away last year, I have taken over learning how to do it myself. Now I must admit, last year it was an experimentation turkey but I managed to make it just right. I was a bit nervous doing the first one but who wouldn't be right? My dad told me last year " If mom was here, she would have not let you bring an experiment turkey." So yes, that might be true as my mom likes to make sure her dishes are perfect but for me, I am different I just flow with my cooking and make them! My dad finds it entertaining that I am brave enough to bring experimenting dishes to parties. Honesty, I just cook out of love and I seem to have this way of praying to spirit and asking them to help me make something delicious. Dad laughs at how I pray to the universe for my cooking but then I tell him it works! It comes out pretty tasty and pretty much close to the recipe the first time. I might have a to tweak something later but I pretty much figure it all out by the 2nd or 3rd time I do a recipe whether its cooking or baking.
