Success!

The turkey brining the night before the big day. I didn't have any receptacle big enough for it so I brined it in the fridge's veggie crisper!

All the sides (well, most of them). The new stove makes for a great server!

The main star! The finished turkey and my dad's carving skills.

The verdict on the turkey? Awesome! I was scared right up until my dad carved the thing but the meat turned out moist, juicy and tasty. All the other meal components went over well too. So there, I did it and it went over well. Our guests had a good time and that's the main thing. Now to relax a bit, have some drink, watch some tv (football apparently) and dream about leftovers. Happy Thanksgiving!
