Janksgiver in Mankato

Well, I am sitting here digesting my Thanksgiving "dinner" and thought I would post what we had since I thought it was an accurate sample of what is probably being served on tables all over everywhere today.
8lb JennyO Turkey Breast. Since neither of us like dark meat it was a pretty good deal and it only took a couple hours to cook instead of half a day.
Turkey gravy, prepped as labled on the package that came with the turkey breast.
5lbs of Potatos, mashed with butter milk salt pepper and some garlic powder. plus potato water!
Two trays of Potato Rolls. I always loved Bob Marr's potato rolls so this year I gave a crack at them using a random internet recipe. For anybody who is not in the know- these are simply dinner rolls made with the water from boiling potatos and this particular recipie had actual mashed spuds in the dough.
From the Box Cornbread Stuffing.tasty tasty tasty, probably really unhealthy or something but there wasn't any nasty turkey bits in it either! :)
Leann had some Jello prepped last night...it looked tasty.
I made one Pecan Pie while everything else was cooking. I used a Pilsbury pie crust, which appears to have cooked spledidly, though I haven't cut into it just yet.

Thats about it for now. Just thought i'd put it all down for posterities sake.
