On Thursday, November 22, we celebrated Thanksgiving in Hungary with an American Thanksgiving feast. The first time to cook turkey in our crazy oven was a scary experience; especially since I was cooking 6 huge turkey breasts. I put them in a Hungarian turkey baking bag and stuffed them into a pan that fit in the oven (the first one we tried didn't fit). I wasn't sure how long to cook the turkey breasts, so left it in 2 1/2 hours and then took it out to check it. I figured that if it wasn’t done, we could put it back in another bag and cook it longer, but it was done. With the turkey cooked and Sister Weberg slicing it, I made a big pot of gravy. Then I began throwing all the ingredients for stuffing into a bowl that I had measured the previous day, and baked one pan while getting the next pan ready for baking. While the second pan was baking, I threw all my premeasured ingredients for Frog Eye Salad together. Unlike last year, the whip cream even whipped up like it should. :) Then, we called Elder Cummings to come pick up all of our food and take it to the church. It was way too much to walk over with! We walked and our food got to ride in the car. :)
