Probably the worst meal I've ever prepared.

The first clue - I've never made a bad pie. This morning I managed to
charcoal the top crust.

At least the turkey was pretty good - moist flesh, crispy skin.
Intentionally slightly undercooked, since most of it is planned for re-
use anyway. Still managed to make a disaster of the carving.

Cranberrys were good - Mama Stamberg's and the Garlic Cranberry
Chutney from the same website.

Everything else, though, was over-spiced and over-cooked. Dishes I've
done right many times. My "How hard could it be?" recipe-less attempt
at stuffing/dressing was inedible. But at least there was a lot of
it.

We'll see what damage I can to to a simple carcass stock tomorrow.

I'm just thankful that we weren't having company. Thankful that I
didn't break anything, start a fire, spill grease all over the floor,
cut off a finger. Could have been worse.

Some days, I shoulda stood in bed.
