Our Thanksgiving went well, except for one thing, which really is minor. We never carve the turkey at the table. We do that in the kitchen. I fix the turkey in a roasting bag, which sits in a foil pan, which sits on top of a baking sheet (to support the foil pan) in the oven. Normally, when the turkey is done, I take it out of that and put it on a platter for carving. This year, hubby says he thought he could just carve it in the pan sitting on the stovetop and place the meat on the platter. What the heck, I thought. If he thinks it's easier that way. So I told him, "Be careful. Don't cut into the foil pan." I turn my back for one moment while he's carving and he cuts into the foil pan. Accidentally, of course. But all the juices that had cooked out of the turkey ran all over the stovetop. Considering there was a good inch and a half of juice in the pan, it was quite the mess to clean up.
Next year, we're going back to the old way of doing it.

I got the turkey in the oven at 6:45am and made my first-ever homemade apple pie, I hope it's edible
How did the pie turn out?
