Thanksgiving dinner WAS AWESOME. I think it turned out better than any of us expected. We had a delicious turkey, delicious gravy, delicious mashed potatoes, delicious green bean casserole, delicious yams, delicious stuffing, delicious salad, delicious cranberry sauce, and delicious homemade pies.
And it all tasted just like Thanksgiving is supposed to. You would have never known we were in Honduras. Seriously. It was that good.
And yes, you spotted them -- those homemade crescent rolls. Here's how that turned out:
The dough does not start out looking very good.
I'm smiling to stop the oncoming I-can't-cook breakdown.
Still very unsure.
Nervous and thinking, "This better freaking work."
After a stressful experience getting the dough to flatten into a circle, divide into triangles, and roll into crescent shapes, I finally force these suckers onto a cookie sheet.
Actually not looking tooooo bad.
We all made it to the dinner table in one piece, so I guess that's the most important part.
Now, after slaving away up to my elbows in dough all afternoon (not exaggerating), I was pretty upset with the final result. I didn't think they actually tasted that good. The volunteers, however, ate 'em up!
Giant sigh of relief. I made about 60, and we probably ate half during dinner. Word on the street is that the other half were devoured by breakfast this morning. :)
This year, I am thankful that the volunteers' crescent roll standards have sunk so low. Happy Thanksgiving!
