Thanksgiving Scorecard
Thanksgiving 2005 proved that I am officially out of practice in the kitchen. We all cooked something, and after the smoke cleared, I was responsible for the following atrocities:

Black Beans............Scorched. In a crock-pot.
Oatmeal Cookies........Carmelized/Scorched.
Oatmeal Cookies 2......not enough oatmeal, then Scorched
Squash Casserole.......Oversalted, undercheesed.
Maple Rice Pudding.....Eggs not beaten enough.

At least the pies and pralines turned out ok, and my roommates were responsible for the turkey and other sides. It's very simply a case of being out of touch, thinking "I really should do X, but I don't know why," not doing X, and smoking up the kitchen.

Then again, I haven't had to buy food for nearly a week. So, it's remedial cooking for me, starting with a chicken leg...
