Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
After a whole day of preparation, baking, cooking and waiting, the meal of the year finally came together. There was a brief struggle as I snagged the turkey platter for photographs before the bird could be carved, but that aside, everything went smoothly. The soup was light and refreshing, the side dishes - which included roasted green beans with caramelized onions, garlic mashed potatoes, stuffing (baked both in and outside of the bird) and cranberry sauce - were all extremely well liked, and the turkey and gravy were just right. Of course, I was a big fan of the dessert - but that almost goes without saying.

Looking at the grocery bill and amount of hassle, I'm a-thinkin' that for two people, it makes way more sense to go out, or maybe to make pizza. I *like* cooking, but the day would have been more fun if I hadn't done it.
