It's the first time I've ever felt something like that.

I like to think of myself as a decent cook, but I lack the creativity, skill, and gadgetry of many of you. My wife and I cooked our first full Thanksgiving spread for our parents and her grandpa today. Everything turned out well.

We had the main parts of the meal catered this year, as this was the first major holiday since my mother-in-law passed away. It was okay, but I think I can do better, so I volunteered to host next year. There will only be four or five people total, depending on whether my brother-in-law brings a date (or his ex-wife, which happened today), so it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm the only one left who can cook worth a shit. But if that ends up happening, I'll definitely introduce some old time country dishes to the mix.
