I made turkey, mashed potatoes , and corn and carrots. No one came. I then decided to put BBQ sauce on the turkey and eat a quarter of it and a whole pot of mashed potatoes with creamed corn. I also burnt a permanent scar on my left wrist from the oven. I was 18 and the first thanksgiving on my own. My dad lived with me and even he didn’t show up. I think the rest of the family had a secret dinner elsewhere. The My food was good. I was expected to fail. I learned early not to cook on high unless you are boiling water.
