The Daily Kelly - Day 238

It's Thanksgiving! And I'm alone because my family is in Florida, my boyfriend's family moved to South Carolina, and my boyfriend has to work... but I'm not falling into a deep depression or anything over it. I'm going to make a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner for myself that none of my family (or boyfriend) would eat. It starts with a Gardein Holiday Roast... (yes, that is a selfie with my sister and my nephew on my fridge, what can say, it's a family thing, lol):

 I told my dad I wanted enough potatoes to have leftovers... he said go with eight potatoes... yeah, I think he was thinking eight smaller potatoes, there would not have been enough room in my mixer for nine potatoes:

 Since I'm alone, I bought one sweet potato and and made a super ghetto-fabulous casserole. I realized once I'd made it that marshmallow topping is not part of our family tradition. It was still yummy either way.

 My potholder met the top element in my toaster oven, better it than my hand:

 Here's my solo Thanksgiving dinner: Mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, vegetarian roast, vegetarian gravy, and a single-serve sweet potato casserole.

 And a strawberry Ramune soda. I was hoping it would be easier to get the marble to drop this time, after my practice one the other day... not so much. But it was better than it was a few days ago and way better than when the waiter had to open it for me in Iowa, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving!
